What are the CSA BASICs?
['Compliance, Safety, Accountability CSA']
- Seven Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories are the heart of the CSA scoring process.
The Behavior Analysis and Safety Improvement Categories, or BASICs, are the seven “buckets” into which carrier and driver violations are placed in the Safety Measurement System (SMS) under the Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) program. The BASICs are based on a list of approximately 900 distinct safety violations with which drivers and/or carriers can be charged, as well as crash history.
The BASICs are at the heart of the CSA scoring process. Perform poorly on the BASICs and motor carriers may be subject to a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) intervention, or worse. Understanding the BASICs and how a company will be judged under the regulations is a critical component of safety management.
