| Resumen del asunto | Me gustaría proponer una nueva descripción para la Parte II del OOSC: "COMPONENTES DE LA CABINA Y LA CARROCERÍA". En esta descripción propuesta (COMPONENTES DE LA CABINA Y LA CARROCERÍA), propongo además una condición OOS para abordar el uso por parte del conductor de un asiento temporal, en lugar de un asiento permanente sujeto al vehículo de manera profesional, similar a la condición de asiento temporal que se encuentra en la descripción "AUTOBUSES, AUTOCARES, FURGONETAS DE PASAJEROS U OTROS VEHÍCULOS DE TRANSPORTE DE PASAJEROS - SALIDAS DE EMERGENCIA/CABLES Y SISTEMAS ELÉCTRICOS EN LOS COMPARTIMENTOS DEL MOTOR Y LA BATERÍA/ASIENTOS". |
| Justificación o necesidad | Un conductor que utiliza asientos provisionales, como muebles de jardín, en lugar de un asiento instalado por el fabricante del vehículo, se expone a un peligro inminente en caso de que deba realizar una maniobra evasiva mínima durante el trayecto habitual. |
| Solicitud de acción | PARTE II 2. COMPONENTES DE LA CABINA Y LA CARROCERÍA Cualquier unidad motriz que cuente con asientos temporales para el conductor que no estén sujetos al vehículo de manera adecuada. Esto incluye el uso de artículos no diseñados para usarse como asientos en vehículos, tales como, entre otros, cajas de leche, sillas de jardín, sillas de patio, sillas plegables, escalones de plástico, taburetes de plástico o neveras portátiles. (393.203(d)) |
| Medidas adoptadas por el comité | Any power unit that has temporary seating for the driver which therein is not secured to the vehicle in a workmanlike manner. This includes the use of items not designed for use as seats in vehicles, including but not limited to, milk crates, lawn chairs, patio chairs, folding chairs, plastic steps, plastic stools or ice chests. (393.203(d)) Discussion that this is a violation but questioning if there is a need to consider it OOS. Question on whether it is considered an imminent hazard and the consensus was that it should be considered an imminent hazard. Discussion on how to make the wording in the OOSC and that instead of cab and body components it should be made more specific to a driver’s seat. This change was made due to the need to include the new heading in the list of Critical Inspection Items in CVSA Operational Policy 5. The Committee did not want to include other violations of Cab and Body Components into the determination of whether or not the vehicle would qualify for a CVSA decal. Missing was also added to the heading as NSC Standard has violations for the condition of the driver’s seat. The Committee did not want to include these other defects in the determination for issuance of a decal, only the violation for the missing driver’s seat. It was decided that only a missing driver’s seat should fall into an OOS condition. It was brought up that anything other than an OEM seat or a seat designed to be installed into a vehicle would be considered a temporary seat and that the wording in the OOSC must reflect that. It was also discussed that any addition should be inclusive of all power units, including buses. The following wording was proposed to the committee for consideration to add into the OOSC. 5. DRIVER’S SEAT (MISSING) Any vehicle that has temporary seating for the driver. Note: Temporary seating includes the use of items not designed for use as seats in vehicles, including but not limited to a milk crate, lawn chair, patio chair, folding chair, plastic step, stool, or a cooler.
