A safety report is a written report of a carrier’s safety performance and policy to provide information on whether or not it is complying with federal regulations and industry best practices. These reports are needed for trucking firms to run their operations safely, minimize accident risks, and comply with regulations.
Safety reports typically include components like:
- Accident history: Review of accidents on the fleet with the cause, results, and corrective action taken.Â
- Compliance: Measures how compliant drivers are to rules such as HOS, licensing, and training.Â
- Vehicle care: Details about regular checkups, repairs, and safety compliances for trucking equipment that’s safe to drive.
- Safety policies: Description of the carrier’s safety policy e.g., employee training, accident prevention, and compliance.
These reports are often required by regulatory agencies such as the FMCSA, and they’re essential for showing that a company takes safety seriously. Safety reports also assist in spotting areas for improvement and addressing risks before they become accidents or violations.
