One of your drivers is involved in a major collision involving a family in a minivan.  There are major injuries.  As the Safety Director, you have become the Claim Administrator and must work with management, law enforcement, insurance companies, attorneys, and eventually a jury in court.

We will discuss:

• Do you know what to do to properly collect the necessary documentation?
• What is spoliation?
• How do you defend yourself against the trend in “nuclear verdicts?”
• What can you expect to experience from other parties during the process?
• Are you prepared for court?

We will look at some of the steps you need to take to collect records and document the incident post-accident from the perspective of the accident investigator, insurance adjuster, and transportation attorney.

This is not an accident investigation/reconstruction class but provides the safety manager insight into how to systematically work through the collision crisis aftermath.

Truck Inspection and Maintenance Programs - DOT vs. CHP Requirements

What does a “compliant” maintenance program consist of?  Is having perfectly maintained equipment, without any deficiencies, a “red flag?”

This 2-hour training webinar will cover:

• What are the maintenance program requirements outlined in T-49 CFR and T-13 CCR?
• What are the differences between the inspection requirements in T-49 CFR and T-13 CCR?
• Is the person performing the inspections qualified?
• Is having “perfect” equipment a “red flag” to the inspector?

Can you answer those questions?  We will.  This fast-paced webinar is for the mechanic, maintenance supervisor, and safety manager with maintenance program responsibility during a compliance inspection.  We will demonstrate key points to cover during your equipment inspections and required contents of a compliant maintenance file.  We will also address those items that will cause you to fail an inspection.

As always, we will provide the attendees our library of supplemental help on the topic.
