Did you know? Speeding was a contributing factor in almost 29 percent of all fatalities in 2021, an increase of 7.9 percent from 2020, and the correlation between speed and injury crashes is well documented. This is why achieving lower speeds is a key part of the FHWA’s Safe System Approach. (Source: “Safe System Approach for Speed Management,” FHWA) Experts from National Highway Traffic Safety Administration NHTSA, World Bank, Virginia Tech, Federal Highway Administration, and Iowa State University will be at the 2nd IRSC to show how organizations in the US and internationally are tackling the problem of speed to increase safety for all road users.

Post 1: What is the Marine Equipment Directive (MED) and Why Should You Care? If you work in the maritime industry, you've probably heard of the Marine Equipment Directive (MED)... and if not, well, it's time to get up to speed! The MED is like the "safety guard" for ships in the European Union, ensuring that everything installed on board – from life-saving equipment to fire protection systems – meets the highest international standards. How does it do that? Easy! With the famous Wheelmark, a kind of stamp of approval that says, "This equipment is safe and ship-ready." Thanks to the MED, manufacturers can access the entire European market hassle-free, and you can rest easy knowing that what's on board is top-notch. In short, the MED not only keeps things safe at sea, but it also makes life easier for manufacturers and ship operators. Over the next few posts, I'll be sharing more about how this directive is changing the game in the maritime industry. Stay tuned! #MaritimeSafety #MarineEquipment #Wheelmark #MaritimeIndustry #MaritimeRegulation #EnvironmentalProtection

Human error isn't the only factor in road crashes—road infrastructure is key to reducing them. This road safety engineering manual shows how to use crash data to identify and fix hazardous traffic blackspots in the Central Asia Regional Economic Cooperation (CAREC) region. Designed to support engineers, traffic police, and road planners, it explains why investments in road safety not only save lives, but they also provide significant returns to the community.

IMO SSE 10 Update: Advancing Fire Safety for Electric Vehicles on Ships At the 10th session of the Sub-Committee on Ship Systems and Equipment (SSE 10), crucial steps were taken to enhance fire safety measures for ships carrying electric vehicles (EVs), including battery electric vehicles (BEVs). With recent incidents underscoring the importance of mitigating fire risks, SSE endorsed a roadmap and goal-based approach to address these challenges. The endorsed roadmap focuses on: 1️⃣ Reviewing scientific reports and studies to identify hazards related to EVs, including BEVs. 2️⃣ Considering a goal-based approach to minimize fire risks in vehicle spaces and ro-ro spaces. 3️⃣ Formulating functional requirements for fire detection, control, and suppression systems. Additionally, SSE re-established a Correspondence Group on Fire Protection to drive this work forward and urged collaboration among Member States and organizations to share data for informed decision-making. SSE also continued its efforts on fire detection and control in cargo holds of containerships and revising regulations for life-saving appliances, among other initiatives. The election of Mr. Hironori Eguro (Japan) as Chair and Vice-Admiral Cristiano Aliperta (Palau) as Vice-Chair for 2025 further solidifies SSE's commitment to maritime safety. #IMO #SSE10 #FireSafety #ElectricVehicles #MaritimeSafety #ShipSystems #SafetyRegulations #Sustainability #Cybersecurity #Collaboration #crsclass #marine #maritime #classification #compliance
