Safety Audit
A Safety Audit is an examination of a motor carrier’s operation that provides educational and technical assistance on safety and the operational requirements of the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) and applicable Hazardous Materials Regulation (HMR), and to gather critical safety data needed to make an assessment of the carrier’s safety performance and basic safety management controls. Safety audits do not result in safety ratings. The purpose of this training is to assists new carriers (New Entrants) in private and for-hire operations with regulatory compliance when applying for a U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) identification number, in order to initiate operations in interstate commerce. In an effort to assist new carriers this training has been developed and should be taken by all employees involved in the day-to-day transportation of freight or passengers on public highways. This course will identify the roles in the commercial motor vehicle operations, describes the commercial motor vehicle compliance process, and describes the Compliance, Safety, and Accountability (CSA) Program.
