?? Get Ready for Brake Safety Week: August 25-31! ?? The Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA) has announced the dates for this year's Brake Safety Week. This initiative is crucial for enhancing road safety and ensuring our fleets are in top condition. What to Expect: ?? Routine Inspections: CVSA-certified inspectors will be focusing on brake systems and components. Vehicles with brake-related violations will be taken off the road until fixes are made. ?? Special Focus: This year, inspectors will pay close attention to the condition of brake linings and pads. Issues here could lead to violations and impact safety ratings. ?? Data Collection: Inspectors will gather and report data on brake conditions, helping to improve safety standards across the industry. ??? Education & Outreach: Alongside inspections, there will be significant efforts to educate drivers, motor carriers, and mechanics on brake safety and maintenance. Why This Matters: Brake-related violations are the most common cause of vehicles being taken out of service. With proper inspection and maintenance, we can significantly reduce these incidents. To prepare, ensure your team is up-to-date on brake inspection procedures and maintenance tips. Check out these resources from CVSA: - Inspector’s Inspection Procedure - Checklist for Inspecting S-Cam Brakes - Vehicle Components Checklist - 10 Brake Lining and Pad Tips Let's work together to keep our roads safe and our fleets running smoothly! #BrakeSafetyWeek #CVSA #RoadSafety #FleetSafety #CommercialVehicles #TruckMaintenance #SafetyFirst #BrakeSafety

?? Bus and coach operating systems are often complex and require people with the right skills, specialised tools, and knowledge to effectively carry out repairs and maintenance to help ensure they operate safely. A new OTSI investigation report into a 2022 coach rollaway and collision in the NSW snowfields highlights how unlicensed maintenance and repair work can lead to adverse safety outcomes.? The incident happened on 5 September 2022 when a coach was transporting 36 children and 5 adults from Smiggin Holes following a ski lesson as part of an excursion to Kosciuszko National Park. During the trip, the coach lost its brakes and rolled backwards down Kosciuszko Road, with the driver forced to swerve to avoid a collision with oncoming traffic. The coach reached speeds of up to 105 km/hr before the driver decided to veer the coach off the road where it travelled down an embankment, struck a rock outcrop, and came to a stop.?? Multiple children and adults were transferred to hospital for observation with some passengers suffering minor injuries. The coach sustained damage to the rear of the vehicle.? ??The investigation found:? - Unlicensed and non-compliant maintenance work was a main contributing factor in the failure of the coach’s braking system.? - The coach had several defects that did not comply with the requirements of the heavy vehicle standard of the Heavy Vehicle National Law (HVNL).? - There were several safety factors including air brake system faults, disabled driver alerts, and a lack of driver familiarity with the vehicle, its system alerts and recent maintenance history.? ? ?? OTSI has identified several key considerations for bus operators and owners to prevent a similar incident from occurring: - Operators must ensure that their vehicles are maintained by licensed mechanics in accordance with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and National Heavy Vehicle Inspection Manual (NHVIM) requirements.? - Operators and drivers should understand the importance of alarm displays, as cues to indicate that there is an issue with a safety critical system and the correct required response.? - Pre-departure checks and driver handover procedures provide opportunities to identify system faults and should be a standard practice included in the operator's safety management system.

Urgent Information for Fleet Operators regarding the Transport for London Progressive Safe System and Vehicle Operators responsibility. TfL have confirmed that a 6 month grace period will apply to the October 2024 introduction of PSP. It remains a fact however that a significant number of systems currently being sold and installed with supplier claims of compliance are in fact not compliant. TfL statement "The DVS operator’s guidance sets out that equipment fitted to a vehicle as part of the PSS must comply with the specifications provided. It is ultimately the operator’s responsibility to make sure that equipment fitted to vehicles is suitable for it’s intended purpose." TfL statement "TfL does not have the power to regulate the equipment market, and we consider that the technical specification and operator’s guidance provide sufficient details for operators to choose compliant equipment. TfL proactively enforces the HGV Safety Permit Scheme through roadside enforcement checks, and should any equipment be found to be non-compliant a PCN may be issued." Technical specification details can be obtained from the following webpage: https://lnkd.in/e_D6DmVR.
