<span style="color: black;"><a href="http://www.caycan.ca/online-courses/defensive-driving-online-course" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5C4s-xAOAf9UdUg2_VyykoK8J0_KKcDISueLO8tQIE0GS6n-PmYtd0bGmskK66djChf2DDYOqIyHjKv0L76FsYedVwZvm7M1QVPFIpPliLaamLjSw_yQSa5jd98gwQSYu8yLab309WDRR/s1600/Defensive_Driving%5Bfull%5D.jpg" /></a>In the digital age, drivers’ safety is a more relevant topic than ever. Consumers these days are inundated with gadgets and devices from MP3 players to smart phones, all of which are designed to be as attention-grabbing as possible, including while you are driving. There are more distractions to be faced in the car as well. Satellite TV, GPSs, CD players, not to mention the dozens of buttons and knobs on some center consoles, can all shift a driver’s focus away from the road and decrease drivers’ safety. </span><br />
<span style="color: black;"> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">The Canadian Automobile Association estimates that driver distraction is a factor in about 4 million crashes in North America every year. Provincial governments have started stepping in with cell phone/distracted driving laws in an attempt to help enforce drivers’ safety. Newfoundland and Labrador introduced distracted driving legislation as early as 2003. Quebec and Ontario followed not long after, in 2008 and 2009, respectively. British Columbia, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, and Prince Edward Island introduced distracted driving legislation in 2010. Alberta, New Brunswick, and the Yukon came on board in 2011. In 2012, the Northwest Territories introduced its own distracted driving legislation. Penalties in some provinces can be as severe as a fine of $400 and the addition of four demerits to your driver’s license. Drivers’ safety is something that most of Canada’s provinces and territories appear to take very seriously.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">So what is considered a distraction on the road? Besides cell phones, an obvious culprit, the CAA points a finger at multiple threats to drivers’ safety. Inside the car, drivers are likely to be distracted by passengers and conversation, pets, GPSs, the radio or CD player, and the vehicle controls, among other things. It also identifies distractions outside of the car; these include scenery and street noise. The CAA notes that drivers who text on a cell phone are 23 times more likely to get in an accident.Talking on a cell phone makes drivers 4 to 5 times more likely to get in an accident, while dialing on a hand-held device makes drivers 3 times more likely to get in an accident. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: black;">What can you do to ensure drivers’ safety on the road? Here are some helpful tips: </span><br />
<br />
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="color: black;">Get your important calls, emails, or texts out of the way before getting into the car. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: black;">Always wear your seat belt. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: black;">Turn off your devices before starting your car. This way you won’t be distracted by push notifications or email alerts. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: black;">Put any CD's into the stereo before leaving your driveway. Don’t listen to music during bad weather or challenging road conditions. </span></li>
<li><span style="color: black;">If you absolutely must make or receive a call, pull over to the side of the road to do so.</span></li>
</ul>
<br />
<span style="color: black;">Keep your hands on the wheel and your eyes forward. When driving with passengers, do not look at them during conversation. Don’t speak with passengers during bad weather or challenging road conditions. Avoid stressful or emotional conversations while driving. Remember, drivers’ safety is up to you as well. </span></div>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">According to Transport Canada, the
Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act is designed to promote public
safety in the transportation of dangerous goods by road, rail, air,
and ship. The Transport of Dangerous Goods regulations are guidelines
used to promote the act that have been adopted by all provinces and
territories. Alberta passed the act in 1982 and then adopted the
federal regulations.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">

<span style="color: black;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">The list of dangerous goods under the
act is extensive and includes products falling into 1 of 9 classes.
Class 1 comprises explosives, Class 2 comprises gases, and Class 3
includes flammable liquids. Class 4 includes flammable solids,
spontaneous combustibles, and products that emit flammable gases on
contact with water. Class 5 includes oxidizing substances and organic
peroxides.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">Class 6 includes poisonous and
infectious substances. Class 7 includes radioactive materials, and
Class 8 includes corrosives. Class 9 includes miscellaneous dangerous
goods and dangerous wastes. A system of labels and placards identify
dangerous goods. However, the regulations themselves are extremely
detailed and difficult to interpret. Despite this, anyone
transporting items considered to be dangerous goods must meet certain
standards regarding training, packaging, transporting, documenting,
and using warning labels. For example, shipping documents are
required for dangerous goods.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">Transport Canada does not provide
shipping documents; rather, the shipper is responsible for creating
his or her own document. In addition, there may be different
requirements depending on whether the items are being moved by road,
rail, air, or sea. For example, shipping documents for dangerous
goods being moved by air must have red hatching's on the left and
right margins that slant to the left or right. There are further
requirements outlined in the regulations.</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">Anyone who ships, receives, or
transports dangerous goods must be trained, or work with someone who
is trained, on TDG regulations. Being knowledgeable about the act
itself is also a requirement. This is where a TDG course can come in
handy. To be compliant with Canadian government standards, TDG
courses must meet Transport Canada’s training requirements for
employees involved in transporting dangerous goods. TDG course
content should include topics such as TDG requirements; shipper,
handler, and driver responsibilities; classes of dangerous goods;
shipping documents; safety marks; containers; special situations; and
emergency actions.
</span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in;">
<span style="color: black;">There are many online TDG courses
available. TDG courses provide certificates upon completion. TDG
course certification is valid for three years. However, it is
important to note that TDG course certification is not transferable,
so if a trainee changes employers, he or she will have to take a TDG
course again. For more course detail click on website <a href="http://www.caycan.ca/">caycan.ca</a>.</span></div>

driver’s on-duty and off-duty hours are limited by the regulations
that govern driver hours of service. This legislation is an important
part of the regulations that apply to the transportation industry.
Intended to reduce the number and severity of highway collisions, the
driver hours of service standards are a very serious matter. With
driver hours of service regulations on both the federal and
provincial levels, all carriers are sure to be influenced by the
regulations. All drivers and carriers must therefore have a complete
understanding of the regulations that govern driver hours of service
in order to avoid violations and expensive fines.</span></span></span></span></div>

driver hours of service regulations were developed to reduce driver
fatigue and ensure that drivers remain alert while driving. As driver
fatigue can impair a driver the same as drugs or alcohol by slowing
reaction times, decreasing awareness and impairing judgement, it is
not something to be taken lightly. It is therefore evident that the
driver hours of service regulations can increase safety on our
highways. </span></span></span></span>

<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">Truck drivers must comply with the
Canadian Commercial Vehicles Hours of Service Regulations, which
monitors the amount of time a driver accumulates on-duty and
off-duty. Depending on if a driver is south or north of latitude 60 N
(roughly, where the northern territories and western provinces meet,
and passing through Ontario, Quebec, and Newfoundland) determines
what the specific regulations are. The regulations are also different
for single drivers and for driver teams. To keep things simple, let's
focus on single drivers.
</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"> For drivers operating south of
latitude 60 N, they cannot exceed 13 hours of driving time, or, 14
hours on-duty time in a day. After these hours have been reached, a
rest period of 8 consecutive hours has to be taken. An off-duty
period must be 10 hours (there has to be 2 hours off-duty time which
does not cut into the consecutive 8 hours). After 16 hours of time
has occurred between the end of the most recent 8 hours, and the
beginning of the next, a driver cannot continue working. </span></span></div>

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">It may seem straight forward, but,
there's more to it than that. It gets a little complicated, when
things like deferral of off-duty time, or ferry crossings are
factored in. If a driver was working less than 26 hours in 2 days, or
if the rest period is at least 20 hours in 2 days, than 2 hours of
off-duty time could be deferred. If a driver is on a ferry crossing
longer than 5 hours, they may not have to take the mandatory 8 hours
of off-duty time, if the ferry crossing can be properly documented
and used as a rest period.
</span></span><br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"> The regulations are slightly different
for drivers operating north of latitude 60 N. For these drivers, the
legal daily driving time can't be more than 15 hours, and the daily
on-duty time can't exceed 18 hours. The mandatory rest time is still
8 hours, but the time between rest periods is a little bigger –20
hours, as opposed to 16.
</span></span></div>
<div style="margin-bottom: 0in; text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;"> Drivers usually go by one of two time
cycles. Cycle 1 is any 7-day period of 70 on-duty hours, while cycle
2 is any 14-day period of 120 on-duty hours. 70 in 1 and 120 in 2
represents the maximum of on-duty hours a driver is allowed to
accumulate. At any time, a driver can start a new cycle, or alternate
between 1 and 2, if the proper off-duty time has been taken. To start
a new cycle 1, and to switch from 1 to 2, there has to be at least 36
consecutive rest hours. For a new cycle 2, or to switch from 2 to 1,
72 consecutive hours are required.

<span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">It may sound arbitrary, but, one of
the best ways a driver can be certain that they're not a potential
threat to themselves or anyone else is pretty simple; get enough
sleep.

In Canada, the jurisdiction over trucking is shared by both the federal and provincial governments. Through the Motor Vehicle Transport Act (MVTA), each province can apply their own rules and regulations to vehicles operating in federal jurisdiction. </span></span></span></div>

Depending on if a driver is operating across Canada, or staying in one province is also another factor to take into consideration. In Alberta, the Schedule 1 is required for any truck or truck and trailer which weighs or exceeds 11 794 kg . The purpose of the Schedule 1 is to document any defects, major or minor, that a truck may have. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;">The
transportation industry does not operate on a fixed schedule and
drivers are often called on to work long hours during a shift, which
can lead to driver fatigue. In the transportation industry driver
fatigue is a very real and serious issue. Though driver fatigue can
make you a road hazard even if you’re not a commercial driver, it
can be even more hazardous when the fatigued driver is in control of
over 4,500 kgs of steel and potentially carrying hazardous goods.
This is why Transport Canada put the commercial vehicle hours of
service regulations into place. </span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="color: black;"><span style="background: none repeat scroll 0% 0% transparent;">The
National Safety Code Standard #9, which is the standard that
regulates hours of service, was developed by the Canadian Council of
Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA). The CCMTA is the organization
responsible for controlling the administration and regulation of
motor vehicle transport and highway safety in Canada. The <a href="http://www.caycan.ca/training">Hours of Service</a> standard was developed to improve safety on Canada’s
highways by limiting commercial driver’s hours to ensure they
remain alert behind the wheel and to decrease the fatigue they may
feel while on the job. </span></span></span></span>
