What is this event?
 Asset 2@20x

FMCSA’s Compliance Safety and Accountability Program (CSA) is a driving force of compliance monitoring and the triggering of FMCSA audits. This session focuses on the understanding of the CSA program and how a carrier can use that same data to control unfavorable safety ratings and better manage their safety programs.

Additionally, roadside safety inspections affect a motor carriers operations resulting in inspections and delays that can be costly. Results of these roadside inspections directly add data into the CSA Program. This session will cover the roadside inspection process and related inspection bulletins.

TOPICS COVERED
             
  

Led by Mark Abrahamson and Jeff Swan, Risk Advisors at HNI Risk Services, below is what this event will cover.

Understanding CSA Scores:

• Explain how CSA scores are used by FMCSA to assign investigations or interventions.

• Identify the processes to which the BASIC methodology is accomplished, and carrier awareness if it’s “inputs”.

• Stress the importance that the data within the program must be a true and accurate representation of a carrier’s safety program. Any errors must be managed via a data quality review.

• Explain how a carrier can implement a “Stay in the Green” Program to increase driver/carrier awareness and gain greater safety “buy in”.

 

Roadside Inspections:

• Identify the critical inspection items of a DOT Roadside Safety Inspection.

• Discuss and review relevant CVSA Inspection Bulletins and Guidance used by roadside officers during inspections.

• Explain how using the data can be part of a more proactive maintenance program and a gauge on current maintenance procedures.

• Identify processes to dispute maintenance violations.
