• Description:
  The ANSI/ASSE Z15.1 standard, Safe Practices for Motor Vehicle Operations, provides minimum requirements for workplace motor vehicle safety programs. Although the standard was initially conceived as filling a gap by providing guidance for non-DOT-regulated fleets, Z15 is, in fact, applicable to any size fleet and any type of organization that operates motor vehicles. It complements the FMCSRs and FMCSA's new CSA initiative by providing a critical framework for development of a safety management system and policies and procedures - a framework not found in the FMCSRs. Because it specifies policies and procedures related to the driver, vehicle, and operating environment, all of these in the context of a safety management system, Z15 is also consistent with other well-established injury prevention models, including those that follow a "systems" approach. Combined with the Haddon Matrix, Z15 can be a starting point for a comprehensive risk assessment for any type of vehicle fleet, leading to development of appropriate interventions.
