Transcript Safety Rating Compliance Workshop

National Safety Code in
April 22, 2004
What is NSC?
• The National Safety Code (NSC)
is a set of safety standards for
motor carriers, drivers and
vehicles operating in Canada.
• Provides support through
regulation for drivers and carriers
to implement management
processes to improve safety.
How was the NSC established?
• In 1989 the Canadian Council of
Motor Transport Administrators
(CCMTA) established the NSC
standards.
• All provinces and territories have
adopted the NSC standards and
use them to develop their own
regulations.
NSC Weight Threshold
• Vehicles included in NSC in BC are:
• Trucks or truck tractors with GVW
exceeding 5000 kg
• Buses
• Vehicles licensed under the Motor Carrier
operating authority (taxis and buses)
Carrier’s Obligations
• As a carrier, you are responsible
for:
– educating yourself and all drivers
who work under your Safety
Certificate
– ensuring that all vehicles that are
operated under your Safety
Certificate are properly maintained
Carrier’s Obligations Cont.
– ensuring only competent and
qualified drivers drive your vehicles
– establishing policies for monitoring
hours of service, vehicle
maintenance, safety programs, and
ensuring your safety policies are
followed
Carrier Profile Elements
• Carrier profile incorporates all of the
information as required by NSC
Standard 14
• Points are assigned for:
OOS CVSA’s (3)
At-fault Accidents (2, 4, 6)
Deemed Guilty Contraventions (1, 2, 3, 5)
All info. received through CDE on the above
NSC #: 00000200123456
NAME: NSC Sample Carrier
Carrier's Safety Performance
Your NSC Carrier Profile is a record that keeps track of indicators of your
on-road safety performance. These indicators are:
* the number and type of at-fault accidents involving the vehicle(s) operating
under your Safety Certificate (NSC points are removed from the profile for
accidents if it can be determined that the driver was less than 50% at fault);
* roadside (CVSA) vehicle inspections that put a vehicle or driver out-of-service;
* contraventions (e.g. violation tickets) which have been deemed guilty; and
* an overall total of accidents, out-of-service CVSA inspections, and
contraventions.
The above items may have occurred while operating in BC or other North American
jurisdictions.
Most items recorded on a Carrier Profile are assigned NSC profile points.
The following chart indicates your point scores in each of the above categories.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------The chart compares your scores to the provincial median for carriers with the same
or similar fleet size. Fleet size is determined by the number of days that your
vehicle(s) have been operating under your NSC certificate over a 12-month period.
Each 365 vehicle licenced days, or portion thereof, is considered to be one vehicle.
For your information, a copy of your Carrier Profile report is enclosed. The report
shows information for each of the incidents recorded for your fleet. Please review
the profile. If you find any inconsistencies, please report them to the NSC program
office by mail, or by faxing a copy of the profile page(s) to (250) 952-0578.
Indicate the discrepancy(s) and reason(s) why. If NSC points appear for an accident
for which you were not considered to be 50% or more at fault, please provide a copy
of this information from your insurance provider. The NSC program office will
investigate and, where applicable, make the necessary corrections as promptly as
possible.
To monitor your on-road safety performance, you may request a copy of your Carrier
Profile on a regular basis. Send a letter, fax, or e-mail to the NSC program office
requesting a copy of your Carrier Profile report.

Requesting a Carrier Profile
• Fax request to (250) 952-0578
• Include carrier name, NSC number,
and specific date range (if
applicable)
• Carrier profiles are provided to the
carrier free of charge
Progressive Intervention

• Carriers are divided into 7 risk
bands based on fleet size

Progressive Intervention
Process - Thresholds
• Within each risk band, the provincial
median is calculated in each of the 4
categories:
•
•
•
•
Contraventions
Inspections
Accidents
Total Points
• Thresholds for warning letter, interview,
audit, and hearing are established based
on the median in each risk band
Progressive Intervention
Process - Carrier Profile Scores
• Points are calculated using a 12month moving window (12 months is
established from deemed convicted date)
• Points are based on a per vehicle
score (established by dividing the
points by the 12-month average fleet
size) Note: 1 vehicle=365 days of licensing
Progressive Intervention
Process - Warning Letter
• Warning Letters are triggered
automatically at the beginning of
each month
• 1545 carriers (or 6.9% of active
carriers) were triggered for a
warning letter in 2003
Progressive Intervention
Process - Interview
• Carrier interviews are triggered at the beginning
of each month.
• 461 carriers (or 2.1% of active carriers)
participated in an interview in 2003
• Other sources of interviews are:
• Carrier selected for random audit (not
previously interviewed or audited)
• Carrier Requested
• Requested by enforcement or 3rd party
Progressive Intervention
Process - Audit
• Carrier audits are triggered at the beginning of
each month.
• 379 audits (or 1.7% of active carriers) were
conducted in 2003
• Other sources of audits are:
• Random (Clean, NSC Random, Motor
Carrier Random)
• Follow-up (1st or 2nd follow-up)
• Carrier Requested
• Requested by enforcement or 3rd party

• Enacted in BC legislation under the
Motor Vehicle Act Regulations
(MVAR 37.061) on April 2, 2001
Rating Carriers in BC
• Safety ratings are assigned to BC
base-plated carriers only
• All BC Carriers receive a Safety
rating.
• On December 31, 2003, there were
22,259 active base plated carriers in
BC
