    Strategies for avoiding CSA violations

    Feb. 10, 2016
    • Catch the small stuff -- Make sure the easy-to-spot defects get corrected before the vehicle hits the road.
    • Make sure each vehicle (including any trailers) has proof of the annual inspection on-board, whether a decal or copy of the inspection form.
    • If a driver reports a defect, make sure it gets documented and corrected before the vehicle is driven again.
    • Ensure vehicles are properly lubricated and free of oil and grease leaks.
    • Employ a preventive maintenance program.
    • Make sure on-the-road defects get repaired.
    • Maintain inspection/maintenance records.
