We are delighted to announce that iRAP and our represented partners have received several International Safety Media Awards for 2022.

The International Safety Media Awards were officially presented on the last day of the 14th World Conference on Injury Prevention and Safety Promotion in Adelaide, South Australia in November 2022.

iRAP and its partners received awards in the following categories:

GOLD winner for web-based category – for the re-launch of the Boîte à outils de sécurité routière

Boîte à outils de sécurité routière (tooklit.irap.org)

Building on decades of road safety research, the Road Safety Toolkit provides a one-stop road safety resource for engineers, road safety advocates, students and policy makers to help develop safety plans for pedestrians, motorcyclists, bicyclists, car and heavy vehicle occupants and public transport users.

La mise à jour du Road Safety Toolkit a été financée par Bloomberg Philanthropies dans le cadre de leur Initiative pour la sécurité routière mondiale (BIGRS 2020-2025) et a été entrepris par le Global Road Safety Facility (GRSF) de la Banque mondiale, avec le soutien de la International Road Assessment Programme (iRAP).  The review included peer review and a road safety stakeholders survey to identify how the Road Safety Toolkit could continue to reflect the latest evidence and research in engineering safety. Global road safety leaders including the Partenariat mondial pour la sécurité routière (GRSP), Vers Zero Foundation, NCAP mondial, Alliance orientale pour des transports sûrs et durables (EASST) et les conseillers techniques ont apporté un soutien inestimable à l'examen.

Congratulations to all les partenaires involved in this redevelopment of the freely available toolkit!

SILVER for web-based category – AVO Star Rating for Design Project Digital Story

Safety at heart of urban road design, Chile.

Designs for the Américo Vespucio Oriente I (AVO I) concession in Chile, one of the largest infrastructure projects in Latin America, were assessed using the iRAP Star Rating methodology prior to its commission in 2022.

iRAP’s produced digital story took readers on a virtual journey through the tunnels, overpasses and multi-lane carriageways beneath and across Santiago to see how engineering safety at the design stage can save lives, money and time.

BRONZE for International Women in Engineering Day Campaign

Recognising #EngineeringHeroes and iRAP training grants for 20 women in Engineering

Notre communauté #RAP est composée d'un peu plus de femmes 20% et nous tenons à encourager les femmes à contribuer à sauver des vies dans le monde entier sur nos routes.

In 2021, as part of the International Women in Engineering Day (Wednesday 23 June), we celebrated two initiatives from iRAP that would benefit and encourage women to be part of our #RAPcommunity, including:

• celebrating women making a difference in road safety as part of the International Women in Engineering Day campaign. https://irap.org/international-women-in-engineering-day-recognising-engineeringheroes-in-road-safety/
• en sélectionnant 20 femmes pour suivre gratuitement nos cours Star Rating Essentials et Star Rating for Designs. https://irap.org/2021/08/congratulations-to-all-our-successful-candidates-for-irap-women-in-engineering-training-grants/

We had an overwhelming response to this campaign. With 193 applicants, we awarded 31 grants in 2021 and will continue to offer this opportunity every year.

We are very grateful for the extraordinary support of the Fondation FIA pour rendre ces opportunités possibles.
