Intermodal Roadside Inspection
This video illustrates the procedural steps followed by law enforcement when conducting a Level 1 roadside inspection as performed in accordance with the North American Standard Inspection procedures developed by the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance.
Standard Industry Safety Rules and Procedures
The Standard Industry Safety Rules and Procedures at Intermodal Facilities task force was formed to identify initiatives, activities or processes that can influence and reduce the frequency of drayage mishaps on terminals, yards and depots. The Task Force developed the Intermodal Terminal Drayman Safety Handbook, a Recommended Practice to Improve Safety on Intermodal Terminals, for distribution to drayman that serve Intermodal Terminals.
The Task Force has also developed six Recommended Practices to reduce collisions on intermodal terminals. They are detailed on a Safety Pocket Card, suitable to be distributed to the intermodal drayage community.
Both documents were approved by IANA’s Operations Committee in May 2016.
