Facility Audits –
All carriers are required by law to fulfill certain obligations at all times. Many will want to know their stand before officials initiate a facility audit. Audits are conducted to ascertain compliance with the National Safety Code and FMSCA. Proactive approach looks at how well your drive files are kept, company policies and maintenance files. Voluntary audits are highly recommended by both the U.S. and Canadian governments. In non-voluntary audit, the officers can provide recommendations on the best way to address the areas of concerns. CSA, created in 2010, is mandated to regulate and promote safety by assessing carriers on roads, driver fatigue and vehicle maintain ace. These factors are then awarded values and a score of more than 60% on any area can trigger an audit resulting in fines.
Three main type of audits are:
1. MTO Audit – Ministry of transportation audit
2. DOT Audit – US authority audit
3. Insurance Audit
