The Comprehensive Safety Analysis (CSA 2010) is a new regulatory program presently undergoing testing in nine states. In case you are unaware of the purpose of this program, it is intended to provide a method for federal authorities to examine the safety history of motor carrier vehicles and operators. The system encompasses each roadside inspection on carrier vehicles as well as any reporting of collisions in which motor carrier trucks were involved. With this system you can locate possible problems before an accident has a chance to happen.
Trucks will need to have electronic recorders installed that take note of how many hours each driver is driving their truck. The hope is that with the CSA 2010 companies will be help accountable for any accidents that occur as a result of poor driving on the part of their drivers. In particular drivers who exceed the speed limit but who never receiver a speeding ticket will be included. Any speeding will be noted and recorded, any drivers that are seen to speed often will have this held against them when they receive their safety rating.
This new system prioritizes the most important aspect of truck driver safety. Safe Road behavior is the focus by taking a careful view of the driving performance of each driver. It is also hoped that the monitoring equipment will highlight any aspects of safety standards that need to be altered. Hopefully the amount of truck accidents and semi-truck wrecks will be lessened with this system.
Each and every driver will be evaluated based on the uniform CSA standards. The CSA standard measures includes:
Driver Fitness: The experience required for safe driving and a focus on either proper or improper training.
A scoring system keeps track of each listed area. Problems revealed will be corrected by appropriate action involving each driver and the company they work for.
