By January 1, 2021, employers must ensure all employees are provided with sexual harassment training in compliance with California Government Code §12950.1. Employers with 5 or more employees are required to provide sexual harassment training to each employee by the employee’s sixth month of employment, and then every 2 years thereafter. This means that you are required to provide non-supervisory employees with one hour of sexual harassment training and any supervisory/managerial positions with two hours of training. | More

During this year’s Brake Safety Week, 12% of the 43,565 commercial motor vehicles inspected were placed out of service for brake-related violations. Inspectors from Canada, Mexico and the U.S. removed 5,156 commercial motor vehicles from roadways due to brake violations during the week-long inspection and enforcement event, focused specifically on reducing brake-related crashes by conducting inspections and identifying and removing unsafe commercial motor vehicles from roadways.

 

Forty-five U.S. jurisdictions, seven Canadian jurisdictions and Mexico’s National Guard and the Ministry of Communications and Transportation provided data this year. In the U.S., 35,778 inspections were conducted; 4,565 vehicles (13%) were placed out of service for brake-related violations. In Mexico, 6% (355) of the 5,958 commercial motor vehicles inspected were placed out of service for brake-related violations. In Canada, 1,829 inspections were conducted, and the brake-related out-of-service rate was 14% (256).

 

Commercial motor vehicle inspectors throughout North America use the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance’s (CVSA) North American Standard Out-of-Service Criteria to identify critical vehicle inspection item violations that are concerning enough to warrant removing that vehicle from traveling on roadways until those conditions have been repaired. Eighty-eight percent of the commercial motor vehicles inspected did not have brake-related critical vehicle inspection item violations. 

 

In addition to capturing brake system out-of-service violation data, during this year’s Brake Safety Week, inspectors also recorded and submitted data regarding the chafing of brake hoses. A total of 6,697 hose chafing violations were reported in a separate data query from participating jurisdictions.
