This seminar will cover some very important topics. We will have a senior staff member from the Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) on site to discuss the CVOR program in Ontario and how it is used to pmtc logomonitor the on Road Safety performance of a Fleet and its drivers, how it intervenes when problems are uncovered, and the sanctions that are put in place when necessary. The MTO will also discuss, when used properly, how it can also be used by the fleet itself to monitor and rectify problems with in its fleet, prior to the MTO becoming involved. PMTC President Mike Millian says” When a Fleet properly uses its CVOR to regularly monitor its fleet, it is able spot trends and use this as a proactive way to intervene, train staff and correct issues before they become a major problem”. As part of the CVOR presentation, the staff will also discuss the Audit program that can occur as a result of on road behaviour(s).
The MTO will also discuss the recently adopted NSC Standard 11b, (HTA regulation 611 in Ontario) and what companies, mechanics are required to do to ensure they comply with the new Periodic Motor Vehicle Inspection.
