 Your New Score and What You Can expect

What is CSA 2010 – How is it Changing

 Pro-active initiative to improve efficiency and effectiveness of FMCSA’s enforcement and compliance program  Mission is to reduce CMV crashes, fatalities, and injuries  Way FMCSA assesses carrier safety  Identifies unsafe carrier and driver

behaviors

that lead to crashes  Uses all roadside inspection including OOS / Non OOS violations  Evaluates / tracks individual driver performance  How FMCSA addresses carrier safety issues  Reaches more carriers earlier and more frequently  Improves efficiency of investigations  Focuses on specific unsafe behaviors  Defines and requires corrective actions

SAFESTAT--VS -- CSA2010

Safe Stat

Four broad safety evaluations

Safety Evaluation Areas

-Accidents -Maintenance -Drivers -Safety Evaluation Lower risk of full audit Violations are not weighted based on relationship to crash risk Labor intensive compliance review

vs

CSA 2010

Seven specific behavior evaluations (BASICS)

Behavior Analysis Safety Improvement Categories

-Unsafe Driving -Controlled Substances and Alcohol -Fatigue Driving -Driver Fitness -Vehicle Maintenance -Improper Loading/Cargo Securement -Crash Indicator Higher risk of audit in specific critical areas Violations weighted based on relationship to crash risk Employs an array of interventions instead of single option

SAFESTAT--VS -- CSA2010

Safe Stat

Focuses primarily on motor carriers Allows drivers to elude the safety program by "jumping" from one carrier to another, leaving employers unaware of the drivers' poor performance Relies heavily on the carriers to be accountable for individual driver safety problems

vs

CSA 2010

Directly monitors the safety performance of individual drivers and motor carriers Addresses problem drivers based on their records across multiple employers Holds both motor carriers and drivers responsible for safety and performance

Keys to the Methodology

•Any OOS violation will add two points to the severity weight •Each inspection has a max of 30 severity weight points •If duplicate or like violations are found they will only be counted once per inspection (OOS violations will take precedence) •No violations discovered will offset •Crash severity weights •Tow-away but no injuries or fatalities = 1 •Injuries or fatalities = 2 •Tow-away with hazmat release = 2 •Injury or fatality with hazmat release = 3

Keys to the Methodology

• All severity weights are multiplied by a time weight of 1, 2, or 3 •Carriers • Violations 6 months or less x3 • Violations 6-12 months x 2 • Violations 12-24 months x1 •Drivers •Violations 12 months or less x3 •Violations 12-24 months x2 •Violations 24-36 months x1 •Carrier peer groups are broken into five categories •1-5 •6-15 •16-50 •51-500 •More than 500

CSA2010 Key Components

• Safety Measurement System (SMS) • All crash records and ALL roadside inspection violations • Weights time and severity of violations based on crash risk •Triggers the intervention process •Safety Performance based on the 7 Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs) •Safety Fitness Determination (SFD) • Tied to current safety performance • Not limited to acute/critical violations from a compliance review • Intervention Process • Array of interventions instead of the labor-intensive comp. review •Offsite Investigations •Onsite Focused Investigations •Onsite Comprehensive Investigations

BASICs Unsafe Driving

Stand Alone basic – meaning that carrier deemed to be “failing” on the unsafe driving or fatigued driving BASIC alone may receive an overall failing grade as a company.

**************************************************************************************************

Unsafe Driving defined

– driving a commercial vehicle in a dangerous or careless manner speeding, reckless driving, inattention, improper lane change, using a radar detector, operating a unsafely, smoking within 25’ of hazmat vehicle.

FMCSR parts covered under unsafe driving – 177, 392, 397, 398 Factors affecting carrier measure – violation severity, violation age, average power units Factors affecting driver measure – violation severity, violation age Violation with highest severity – Reckless Driving

BASICs Fatigued Driving

Stand Alone basic – meaning that carrier deemed to be “failing” on the unsafe driving or fatigued driving BASIC alone may receive an overall failing grade as a company *************************************************************************************************

Fatigued Driving

– operation of a commercial vehicle by drivers who are ill, fatigued, or in violation of the hours-of-service (HOS) regulations. Examples such as; failing to complete or retain logs, violating the hours of service limits, ailing to include all required items on the log, violating an HOS-related out-of-service order.

FMCSR parts covered under unsafe driving – 392, 395 Factors affecting carrier measure – violation severity, violation age, number and age of inspections, whether violation resulted in OOS order.

Factors affecting driver measure – violation severity, violation age, whether violation resulted in OOS order.

Violation with highest severity – Driving while ill/fatigued, jumping OOS order

BASICs Drugs & Alcohol

Drugs & Alcohol

– driving a CMV while impaired by drugs or alcohol such as; violating an out-of-service order relating to alcohol under 392.5 (a) or (b), using or being in possession of drugs, possessing, using, or being under the influence of alcohol for hours prior to being on duty.

How to Prepare!

-Safestat log in (special pin number) – if you don’t have or know what you pin number is request a pin number ( www.fmcsa.dot.gov/registration-licensing/online-registration/onlineregdescription) -Update your MCS150 form on line for accuracy in reporting (required to be updated at least every two years) accurate data will be extremely important - Review carrier profile and safety record over past two years and compare violations against the BASIC’s. Begin focusing on the problem areas.

- Educate drivers on CSA2010 and how their behavior and performance can affect the company and their own safety performace
