CSA 2010, Minnesota and You

Minnesota is a part of the Comprehensive Safety Analysis (CSA) 2010 pilot program.  CSA 2010 is a major Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) initiative to improve the effectiveness of the Agency's compliance and enforcement programs. Its goal is to achieve a greater reduction in large truck and bus crashes, injuries, and fatalities, while maximizing the resources of FMCSA and its State partners.

You can review a fact sheet on this new program to learn more and you may also submit any comments and questions about the CSA 2010 initiative here.  Information on CSA 2010 will also be provided at our October 20th DOT Audit workshop in Brainerd, MN.

Safety Lines - The Newsletter of Minnesota OSHA
Safety Lines is a quarterly publication of the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry.  The publication promotes occupational safety and health.  In addition, the newsletter informs readers of the purpose, plans and progress of Minnesota OSHA.  

Print off a copy of the current issue and use it as the basis of discussion with your crew during your next monthly safety and health meeting.
