ANSI has approved the revised standard, ANSI/ASSE Z15.1-2012, Safe Practices for Motor Vehicle Operations. The standard calls for organizations to have a written motor vehicle safety program that defines organizational requirements, responsibilities and accountability for drivers and motor vehicle safety. It provides guidance for occupant restraints; impaired driving; distracted driving; aggressive driving; journey management; and fatigue. Guidance also includes driver qualifications; vehicle management; and incident reporting and analysis. Sample policy forms are included. The standard becomes effective August 20, 2012.
