Resumen del asunto

Un inspector de carreteras de Missouri registró siete infracciones, dos de ellas por fallos en los frenos debido a la desconexión de un cable de conexión rápida (anotado en la inspección). Una vez que el conductor conectó correctamente el cable, se le permitió abandonar el lugar del accidente.

Justificación o necesidad

La desconexión de una de las conexiones inalámbricas tuvo un impacto extremadamente grande en la puntuación de mantenimiento de vehículos CSA de esta compañía de transporte.

Solicitud de acción

Solicito respetuosamente que un agente trate la desconexión de un conector de cable como si fuera un cable suelto. Permita que el conductor vuelva a conectar el conector y luego realice la inspección.

Medidas adoptadas por el comité

This item was originally brought to Operation Air Brake (OAB), OAB indicated that the documenting of each brake was correct, based on current guidance. However, understanding that the multiple violations/OOS may weigh heavily on a CSA score, they agreed that something similar to lights out due to an unplugged pigtail could be considered. Further discussion was regarding the electric brakes not functioning for the same reason. So additional language was developed to incorporate the electric brakes as well. It was also suggested that a note be put in the lighting section for the electric brakes to point readers to the brake section for the electric brake guidance and in Electric Brake section to point readers back to the lighting section to ensure two violation will be noted (one for the brakes and one for the lights when an electrical cable is unplugged on an electric braked trailer.
