NRSPP was established in 2014 to bring together businesses, researchers and government in an industry-led collaborative network.

Since its launch, the program has attracted over 120 partners, highlighting the preparedness of organisations to share their knowledge and experiences in developing a strong road safety culture.

The Program provides free networking, support and education and convenes working groups centred around key workplace road safety risks identified by its Steering Committee.
