Webinar Addresses Workforce Changes:
More Webinars to Follow
The first in a series of Webinars on the implementation of CSA 2010 and its impact upon FMCSA’s workforce took place August 18. Division Administrators from CSA 2010 test states discussed changes and answered questions from their peers including:
-
Are the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Regulations (FMCSRs) changing? ANSWER: No. The Safety Fitness Determination (SFD) notice of proposed rulemaking is under development but CSA 2010 implementation is not dependent on SFD.
-
Will Field Staff have to re-apply for new job positions? ANSWER: No. Job and grades are not changing.
-
Will training on the new CSA 2010 safety measurement system and new interventions processes be provided? ANSWER: Yes. Training for Field Staff and State partners will begin next year.
