Fleet Safety Made Easy: A Simplified Guide to Compliance and Accident Prevention, (Paperback)

Written for safety managers of both large and small fleets of vehicles, this complete guide shows you how to identify and understand your three key responsibilities as a safety manager: prevent accidents, protect your company's property against potential loss, and comply with the requirements of Occupational Safety and Health Act and Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations.

Relevant motor-carrier-safety regulations are presented in easy-to-use checklists, simplifying the confusing task of compliance. You'll find regulatory guidelines for fulfilling such tasks as operating commercial motor vehicles, transporting hazardous materials, obtaining commercial drivers' licenses, meeting commercial drivers' qualifications, and understanding the testing for alcohol and controlled substances.

Special features include a complete directory of DOT agencies and state commercial driver's licensing offices, 15 ready-to-use forms for complying with DOT's reporting and recordkeeping requirements, and a visual glossary of traffic signs for use in training. The author also includes suggestions for driving in severe weather and coping with driver fatigue.
