Industry Safety Audit Preparation Course

A new entrant safety audit is an examination of a new interstate motor carrier’s operations and its compliance with Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR) and applicable Hazardous Materials Regulations (HMR). The audit provides educational and technical assistance to motor carriers on the safety and operational requirements of the FMCSRs and HMRs and gathers critical safety data needed to assess the carrier’s safety performance and basic safety management controls.

This training course will prepare motor carriers for their future safety audit in accordance with the FMCSRs and HMRs and provide resources to assist new motor carriers in establishing necessary policies and procedures to ensure compliance with the safety regulations.
