Driver qualification files - Yukon Territories

Carriers can use National Safety Code (NSC) Standard 15, Facility Audits, as a guideline for driver qualification files. NSC Standard 15 states that the following records should be kept on each driver operating under the carrier’s safety fitness certificate:

• Driver’s name, date of birth, and driver’s licence number;
• Current licence class and status;
• Current driver abstract issued within the past 12 months;
• Driver’s air brake endorsement, transportation of dangerous goods certificate, or long combination vehicles endorsement, as applicable;
• Traffic offences and criminal driving offences for which the driver was convicted over the past two years; and
• Reportable accidents involving NSC vehicles in which the driver was involved over the past two years.

It is recommended that the carrier keep a copy of the driver’s application for employment, any records the carrier collected to verify the accuracy of the application, and a copy of the driver’s road test, if applicable.
