CSASupervisor Training
Who is subject?
Carriers and their drivers are subject if the carrier: has a U.S. DOT Number; operates commercial motor vehicles as defined in 49
CFR 390.5 in interstate commerce; or Transports placarded hazmat in intrastate commerce
Who is subject?
A commercial motor vehicle is defined in §390.5 as: having a gross vehicle weight rating or gross
combination weight rating of 10,001 pounds (4,537 kilograms) or more;
designed to transport 16 or more passengers including the driver; or
transporting hazardous materials in a type and quantity which require placarding
Who is subject?
Intrastate commerce carriers and drivers are not subject to CSA’s enforcement model unless hauling placarded hazmat
Intrastate commerce enforcement models are determined by the state
Safety Measurement System
Safety Measurement System (SMS) replaced SafeStat and its methodology
Information originates from the Motor Carrier Management Information System (MCMIS) as it did under SafeStat
Safety Measurement System
MCMIS: State and federal enforcement personnel
enter results of roadside inspections, crashes, and investigations
All violations appearing in the CSA severity tables and noted on a roadside inspection report are included in the CSA system
MCMIS contains Motor Carrier Census data appearing on the carrier’s MCS-150
Safety Measurement System
SMS includes two systems: Carrier Safety Measurement System
(CSMS) scores the previous 24 months of carrier data in MCMIS
Driver Safety Measurement System (DSMS) scores the previous 36 months of driver data in MCMIS
Safety Measurement System
Information on the driver’s MVR is not included
This is a completely different database and reporting system
Safety Measurement System
CSMS: has both a public and private view categorizes violations and scores them using
a set of algorithms Includes data on both
former and currentdrivers that fit withinthe 24-month window
Safety Measurement System
DSMS: Employers and insurers do not have access —
only enforcement personne, and only during the course of a carrier audit
Safety Measurement System
Violations and crashes: remain in the DSMS even when the driver
switches employers are only removed from the driver’s record with
the passage of time
Safety Measurement System
New employers do not inherit a driver’s safety history from another employer in the CSMS
Only those safety-related events occurring under your U.S. DOT number are calculated into the carrier’s CSMS scores
BASICs
Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs): replaced SafeStat’s Safety Evaluation Areas
(SEAs) categorize and weight violations by severity
and how old they are
BASICs
BASICs include: Unsafe Driving (Part 392, 397, and traffic
laws) Hours-of-Service (HOS) Compliance
(Parts 392 and 395) Driver Fitness (Parts 383 and 391) Controlled Substances/Alcohol
(Parts 382 and 392)
BASICs
BASICs include (continued): Vehicle Maintenance (Parts 393 and 396) Hazardous Materials (HM) Compliance
(Part 397 and HM regulations) Crash Indicator (accidents appearing on the
accident register, §390.15)
CSA Scoring of Violations
Roadside inspection violations are placed into one of six BASICs
Each violation is given a severity weight: a point value of 1-10 based on crash
causation, and 2 additional points added if it resulted in an
out-of-service order (just for some BASICs, not all)
CSA Scoring of Violations
Severity weighting is capped at 30 for one single BASIC for one single roadside inspection
Multiple violations of the same regulation during a single roadside inspection are only counted as one violation, instead of being stacked (e.g., tire tread low on all tires)
CSA Scoring of Violations
CSMS: all inspections, violations, and crashes are “time-weighted” using the following weighting: 0 to 6 months = 3 7 to 12 months = 2 13 -24 months = 1
CSA Scoring of Violations
DSMS: all inspections, violations, and crashes are “time-weighted” using the following weighting: 0 to 12 months = 3 13 to 24 months = 2 25-36 months = 1
CSA Scoring of Violations
Each BASIC is totaled The “BASIC Measure” is determined by dividing
total of event scores by a “normalizing factor”
CSA Scoring of Violations
Normalizing factors for carriers include: Number of power units and vehicles
miles traveled: Unsafe Driving and Crash BASICs
Total of all time weighted relevant inspections: HOS Compliance, Driver Fitness, HM Compliance, Vehicle Maintenance, and Controlled Substances/Alcohol BASICs
CSA Scoring of Violations
Normalizing factors for drivers: Total of all time weighted driver
inspections: HOS Compliance and Driver Fitness BASICs
Total of all time weighted vehicle inspections: Vehicle Maintenance and HM Compliance BASICs
The Unsafe Driving, Drugs/Alcohol, and Crash BASICs do not have a normalizing factor
CSA Scoring of Violations
BASIC Score for carriers Carriers divided into Safety Event Group
(peer groups) Percentile Ranking (0%-100%) assigned
inside Safety Event Group Percentile Ranking is the “BASIC Score”
CSA Scoring for Violations
BASIC Score for drivers Drivers compared to driver peer groups
based on Normalizing Factor used earlier For Unsafe Driving, Drugs/Alcohol, and
Crash BASICs, they are compared against all drivers with at least one violation in that BASIC
Percentile Ranking assigned; this is the “BASIC Score”
CSA Scoring of Crashes
Severity weight for both CSMS and DSMS: Tow-away, but no injury or fatality: 1 Injury or fatality: 2 Hazmat release: Add 1 point to applicable
severity weight above
CSA Scoring of Crashes
Time weight for crashes for CSMS: 0 to 6 months = 3 7 to 12 months = 2 13 -24 months = 1
CSA Scoring of Crashes
Time weight for crashes for DSMS: 0 to 12 months = 3 13 to 24 months = 2 25 -36 months = 1
CSA Scoring of Crashes
Carriers are normalized using Average Power Units and Vehicle Miles Traveled and compared against those with the same range of power units and assigned a percentile ranking
Drivers are ranked amongst all drivers that have had at least one crash and are assigned a percentile ranking
Challenging Inaccurate Data
Review the information within MCMIS that the FMCSA has on you DSMS: Drivers must use the Freedom of
Information Act or purchase a Pre-employment Screening Program report (BASIC scoring not included in either)
CSMS: Motor carriers can use the public and private views online
Challenging Inaccurate Data
Challenges to MCMIS data can be done through FMCSA’s DataQs portal at: https://dataqs.fmcsa.dot.gov/login.asp
FMCSA acts as mediator with state, but the state’s final determination stands
Interventions
Based on a carrier’s BASIC Scores, it may become a candidate for an intervention
Thresholds vary depending on type of carrier and the BASIC
Interventions
Interventions include: Warning letter Targeted roadside enforcement (ISS-D) Focused off-site investigation Focused on-site investigation Comprehensive review (compliance review) Cooperative (corrective) safety plan Notice of Violation Notice of Claim/Consent Agreement
Interventions
Any intervention may be used at any time for carriers
Not necessarily used “in order”
Interventions
Drivers are currently only subject to a Notice of Violation and Notice of Claim issued in conjunction with an investigation of a current or former employer
