What is different between a Compliance Review and CSA 2010 Interventions?
There are five important differences between CSA 2010 interventions and FMCSA’s current compliance review (CR): • CSA 2010 provides a set of tools to address carrier’s safety problems; the CR is a one-size-fits all tool. • CSA 2010 interventions provide the ability to focus on specific safety problems while the CR requires a broad examination of the carrier. • CSA 2010 interventions focus on improving behaviors that are linked to crash risk; CR is focused on broad compliance based on a set of acute/critical violations. • CSA 2010 focused on-site investigations and off-site investigations are less resource intensive and less time consuming for the carrier; CRs are resource intensive.
There are five important differences between CSA 2010 interventions and FMCSA’s current compliance review (CR): 1) CRs are generally deployed at a carrier’s place of business as a one-size-fits-all tool to address what may not be a comprehensive safety problem, while interventions under CSA 2010 may not be at a carrier’s place of business and can be focused on a specific deficiency. 2) The outcome of a CR can be the citing of acute and critical violations, while the outcome of an intervention determines the root cause of the safety problem and provides guidance on corrective actions. 3) A CR determines a carrier’s safety rating, while CSA 2010 interventions will ultimately combine violations with on-road safety performance for safety fitness determination. 4) The focus on a CR is compliance while interventions are focused on compliance, improving behaviors that are linked to crashes, and identifying causal factors. 5) CRs are time consuming and result in reaching fewer carriers, while
