SAFETY/ EDUCATIONAL CONTACT/COMPLIANCE REVIEW DATA

Contains data regarding a federally-conducted or State-conducted review of a carrier's/shipper’s compliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety and Hazardous Material Regulations. These reviews result in the carrier receiving a Federal safety rating of Satisfactory, Unsatisfactory or Conditional. A safety rating is generated by MCMIS after the Review has been added to the MCMIS Review File. The following data elements are included:

LATEST REVIEW TYPE. (REVTYPE) [FIELD LENGTH 1] This is the type of review conducted. (C=Compliance Review, H=Shipper Review, N=Non-Ratable Review, A=Safety Audit, S=Safety Review, E=Educational Contact Review, U=Historical Audit Record, B=Automatic Safety Assessment Program Review, F=CTFR Only, G=CR and CTFR, I=Carrier Inactivate, J=CR and SECURITY CONTACT REVIEW, or Null.)
LATEST REVIEW DOCUMENT NUMBER. (REVDOCNUM) [ FIELD LENGTH 8 ] Number assigned by MCMIS to a Review after it has been added to MCMIS.
LATEST REVIEW DATE. (REVDATE) [ FIELD LENGTH 8 ] The date the Review was completed by a Safety Investigator.
RECORDABLE ACCIDENT RATE. (ACC_RATE) [ FIELD LENGTH 6 ] The rate is computed from data taken from the latest Review. Total Recordable Accidents multiplied by 1,000,000 miles divided by the mileage.
PREVENTABLE RECORDABLE ACCIDENT RATE. (REPPREVRAT) [ FIELD LENGTH 6 ] The rate is computed from data taken from the latest Safety/ Compliance/Educational Contact Review. Total Preventable/ Recordable Accidents multiplied by 1,000,000 miles divided by the mileage.

* A record that contains 000.000 as the accident rate has two possible meanings:
(1) No mileage data is available to compute the accident rate or
(2) mileage data exist and the actual accident rate is 000.000.
* If the record contains 999.999 this indicates that the accident rate is greater than 10.0.

MCS-150 MILEAGE CALENDAR YEAR
(MLG150)

[ FIELD LENGTH 10 ] The number of miles reported by the entity on the Form MCS-150.

REVIEW MILEAGE
(MILETOT)

[ FIELD LENGTH 10 ] The number of miles reported on the motor carrier/shipper from the most current Review.

SAFETY RATING
(RATING)

[ FIELD LENGTH 1 ] This is a measure of the carrier's compliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSR).

Motor carriers rated before 1986 were assigned safety ratings based on previous procedures used to determine the carriers compliance with the FMCSR such as a Safety Management Audit, or a Re-investigation conducted on the carriers operation,
Beginning in October 1986, motor carriers were assigned a safety rating based on a Safety Review or a Compliance Review. A Safety Review is an overview of a motor carrier's knowledge of the FMCSR. This covers all major areas of the Safety Regulations. Much of the rating is based on an interview with management. The main purpose is to educate a carrier about the FMCSR. A Compliance Review is a statistical sampling or audit of required records to determine a motor carrier's compliance with the FMCSR. An in-depth review of the motor carrier's records is made to check different categories of drivers, vehicles and trip. This review may be limited to specific problems and may include a detailed investigation of a problem area. The compliance status determination is based on FMCSR violations discovered during the review.
Any of the following codes may be found in this field:

S = Satisfactory;

C = Conditional;

U = Unsatisfactory;

No code

EFFECTIVE DATE. (RATEDATE) [ FIELD LENGTH 8 ] The date the Safety/Compliance Review was input into MCMIS thus generating a safety rating (Century, Year, Month, Day).

Since accident history is the most important measure of safety, SafeStat places double emphasis upon the ACC-SEA in calculating an overall SafeStat indicator. Motor Carriers that are identified as being within the worst 25% of the ranked population within an individual SEA are deemed an unacceptable performer for that SEA.
