Résumé de l’enjeu

Lors d'une inspection de niveau I avec infraction(s) ne justifiant pas la mise hors service du véhicule, celui-ci doit-il être réinspecté si l'infraction est corrigée ?

Justification ou besoin

Veuillez préciser les conditions des réinspections. Un transporteur peut en faire la demande.

Demande d’action

Je dois répondre à la question suivante : si le transporteur souhaite effectuer une réparation suite à une infraction n’ayant pas entraîné d’immobilisation et a demandé une nouvelle inspection, cette réparation est-elle obligatoire ?

Mesures prises par le comité

Suggested Wording For Part II Policy and Operational Policy 5 was suggested as follows: An out-of-service violation or other violation noted during a Level I inspection that is successfully repaired on-site and re-inspected by the same officer at the same inspection location will now qualify for a CVSA decal. Only a re-inspection of the repair is required. An officer should make every effort, when possible, to re-inspect the vehicle for the issuance of a decal.

It was presented that in some jurisdictions, this is common practice and that if the vehicle is defect free by the time it leaves the inspection location, an officer will re-examine the defect(s) and if they have all been adequately repaired, the inspection form is signed off that defects have been repaired and a CVSA decal is applied. It was explained that in these jurisdictions the CVSA decal is a mere screening tool and the application of the decal allows for the same vehicle not to be re-inspected by another inspector days later when it is clear to the first inspector that all the defects have been corrected.

Others suggested that they considered the decal to be an indication of a “good” carrier and they will not issue a CVSA decal in those cases because there were defects on the vehicle when the vehicle was originally inspected. Others suggested that they only way that a CVSA decal will be issued is if another Level I inspection is performed and another inspection report is produced once the repairs have been completed.

It became clear that each jurisdiction as well as industry has their own programs in place and the committee could not agree on what is the appropriate action, therefore, there were no motions to add clear direction to the policy and it was determined that the course of action will be left up to each individual jurisdiction to determine what they want their inspectors to do in this case.

After the meeting, Executive Committee tasked an adhoc commmittee to come up with a viable solution for Operational Policy 5. The following policy was developed and approved by Exec in April 2012.

A critical inspection item violation(s) (OOS or otherwise) noted during a CVSA Level I inspection that is successfully repaired on-site and re-inspected by the same inspector at the same inspection location will qualify for a CVSA decal as long as all previously noted critical inspection item violations have been properly repaired. In such instances only a re-inspection of the repaired violation(s) shall be done with decal(s) being applied to the vehicle(s) and properly noted upon the original inspection.

Any vehicle that is repaired off-site or inspected by a different inspector shall be required to have a complete inspection conducted in order to obtain a CVSA decal.

Nothing within this policy shall require an inspector to re-inspect a vehicle, with that decision being left to the individual inspector and his/her agency.
