DAY 1 FEB 24: Introduction (Level 1): NSC basics, Commercial Vehicle Safety and Enforcement (CVSE), logbooks/ELDs, and Hours of Service
NSC Introduction (Level 1) is designed for drivers, compliance officers and record-keepers. The course outlines the National Safety Code’s Hours of Service standard. It examines the various cycles available, exemptions, and the correct use of logging hours (detailed examination of required support documentation, regulations applicable in both Canada and the USA, considerations for driving north of the 60th parallel, daily driving and working hour limits, deferral provisions, and special cases such as adverse weather conditions). Additionally, the course includes information on US requirements and regulations about electronic logging devices, which is beneficial for drivers who cross the border.

DAY 2 FEB 25: Compliance (Level 2): Compliance & Record-Keeping Requirements
NSC Compliance (Level 2) focuses on National Safety Code compliance – general and specific, and looks at the ways in which an organization is affected by non-compliance. The training includes information on NSC aspects relating to pre-trip inspections, driver evaluations, driver reviews, and dealing with other driver-related training problems, Transportation of Dangerous Goods courses, and remedial training drivers must take due to poor performance/records. The procedures for coordinating driver evaluations, maintaining vehicle records, and setting up driver paperwork and retrieval are discussed.
The course will also focus on the need for proper record-keeping practices, looking at all National Safety Code paperwork requirements, including driver abstracts, driver files, vehicle files, National Safety Code Profiles, and more. It outlines the creation and maintenance of a recall system to be used for driver’s licences, vehicle files and insurance. Preparation for audits is discussed, with the responsibilities of the record keeper outlined in terms of setting up and maintaining all files related to the National Safety Code. The record keeper’s important role in relation to the fleet is discussed.

Participants will complete an end-of-course assessment and, upon successful completion, will receive a Certificate of Completion.
