What is CSA 2010 – How is it ChangingWhat 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 safetyIdentifies unsafe carrier and driver behaviors that lead to crashesUses all roadside inspection including OOS / Non OOS violationsEvaluates / tracks individual driver performance

How FMCSA addresses carrier safety issuesReaches more carriers earlier and more frequentlyImproves efficiency of investigations

Focuses on specific unsafe behaviorsDefines and requires corrective actions

SAFESTAT--VS -- CSA2010SAFESTAT--VS -- CSA2010

Safe Stat vs CSA 2010Seven specific behavior evaluations (BASICS)Behavior Analysis Safety Improvement Categories

-Unsafe Driving

-Vehicle Maintenance-Improper Loading/Cargo Securement-Crash Indicator

-Controlled Substances and Alcohol-Fatigue Driving-Driver Fitness

Higher risk of audit in specific critical areas

Violations weighted based on relationship to crash risk

Employs an array of interventions instead of single optionLabor intensive compliance review

Violations are not weighted based on relationship to crash risk

Lower risk of full audit

Four broad safety evaluations Safety Evaluation Areas

-Accidents-Maintenance-Drivers-Safety Evaluation

CSA 2010Safe Stat vs

Relies heavily on the carriers to be accountable for individual driver safety problems

Holds both motor carriers and drivers responsible for safety and performance

Focuses primarily on motor carriersDirectly monitors the safety performance of individual drivers and motor carriers

Allows drivers to elude the safety program by "jumping" from one carrier to another, leaving employers unaware of the drivers' poor performance

Addresses problem drivers based on their records across multiple employers

•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 MethodologyKeys to the Methodology

Keys to the MethodologyKeys 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 ComponentsCSA2010 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 DrivingBASICs Unsafe DrivingStand Alone basic – meaning that carrier deemed to be “failing” on the unsafe driving orfatigued 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 radardetector, 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 DrivingBASICs Fatigued DrivingStand 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; failingto 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 ageof inspections, whether violation resulted in OOS order.

How to Prepare!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. Beginfocusing on the problem areas.

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