DOT Compliance Conference

Achieving and Maintaining Compliance
within Comprehensive Safety Analysis Protocols


To help companies understand and adhere to CSA (formerly known as CSA 2010), DCH, Inc. has developed a 3-day conference that outlines the program, instructs carriers on what to expect moving forward, and how to handle communications received from the DOT (known as "interventions"). The conference starts with an overview of the DOT and FMCSA on the first day and dives into deeper detail on the seven Behavior Analysis Safety Improvement Categories (BASICs) included in CSA in the two days that follow. It is designed for all experience levels and flexible enough to allow for any or all of the days to be attended individually.
