  • able to show an innovative approach to work-related road safety including concrete actions and initiatives; 
  • target setting and monitoring used as part of the road safety program; 
  • solid evidence of a return on investment and economic impact; 
  • indicators set up to collect and monitor data on all collisions/material damage/casualties;
