This presentation will cover such topics as: • Driver reporting requirements, • CDL medical status appearing on the MVR, and • Annual reviews Our presenter will reserve time for a live Q&A session.

If one of your drivers is involved in a serious accident, a single verdict could ruin your company’s finances and reputation. But there are actions you can take to prevent a “nuclear” verdict — both in your day-to-day operations and following a crash. In this webcast, Attorney Doug Marcello and J. J. Keller Sr. Industry Business Advisor Tom Bray explain:

• How nuclear verdicts threaten your fleet and the industry
• What triggers an accident to become “nuclear”
• What compliance steps you can take to protect your fleet
• How your fleet's data can be used in your defense
• What steps to take after an accident to reduce your risk

Once an investigator has begun an audit or review, there’s little the carrier can do to influence the outcome. What can be discovered likely will be. However, a carrier can impact the result before the official notice is received and there is much to be done after the investigation is complete. Even if a satisfactory rating is received, there is risk that needs to be mitigated. There’s always room for improvement. Rather than focusing on the review itself, this webcast will hone in on:

• The difference between a new entrant audit and a compliance review
• Understanding the three primary triggers of a compliance review
• What to do between getting a USDOT number and the auditor arriving
• Realizing it is not whether violations will be found, but of what type and severity
• A review of the new entrant audit automatic “fails”
• How to improve your processes and reduce your risk regardless of the outcome

Time will also be reserved for a live Q&A session.

Driver Training Programs: A Key to Retention and Risk Reduction 

• The ROI of investing in driver training
• The essential elements of a quality training program

8 HazCom Mistakes You May be Making … and how to fix them!

OSHA's Hazard Communication Standard is one of the most frequently cited standards and it’s easy to see why. With this multifaceted standard there are so many ways to make mistakes. First, 29 CFR 1910.1200 applies differently depending on whether you are an employer, chemical manufacturer, importer, or distributor. And it gets more detailed from there. You must identify hazardous chemicals employees are exposed to in the workplace, ensure proper labeling and accompanying safety data sheets, make safety data sheets accessible to employees, and inform and train employees on how to protect themselves from the hazards of the chemicals they work with. In this webcast, we’ll look at:

• Common mistakes you may be making
• Addressing issues we hear about every day, including secondary container labeling
• What to do about mixtures
• Who needs training
• What exceptions apply
• And much more!

A Q&A session will follow the event - Bring your questions!

• When is an MC number needed and how is it different from an MCS-150?
• What are the UCR recordkeeping requirements?
• When do I need to designate a process agent?
