◦Introduction
◦The four major components of CSA:
■Data Collection (explains the process and sources FMCSA will use to gather data about compliance by individual drivers and carriers)
■Safety Measurement (explains how data on safety-related events are organized into seven BASICs and how those events are assigned a number value based on a violation's association with crash causation; includes examples of "time weighting" and "risk weighting")
■Safety Evaluation (explains how the FMCSA will determine what, if any, actions will take place against the carrier AND driver)
■Interventions (explains the actions FMCSA can take against violators under the CSA program and the impact on the carrier AND driver)
◦Working for a Positive BASICs Score (have good roadside inspection outcomes; avoid high point violations, and avoid crashes)
◦Summary
•Quiz – 10 interactive questions; offers correct/incorrect remediation to reinforce effectiveness of training.
•Message for Management - Gives introduction to the training program and topic for trainers/management. Includes commentary on measures a motor carrier can take to reduce the number of crashes their fleet is involved in.
