Presented by CTA Seminar Partner

Accident preventability isn't just a technical term; it's a key factor in protecting your company's safety 
record and compliance standing.

Does the classification of preventable versus non-preventable really matter? (Spoiler: it does)

In this interactive webinar, we'll break down how accidents are classified, why preventability matter, and how misclassifications can impact your SMS scores.

Together, we'll explore:

• How law enforcement establishes the Primary Collision Factors within a Traffic Collision Report
• What makes an accident reportable under FMCSA regulations
• The crucial difference between responsibility and preventability
• Non-preventable versus preventable determinations
• Key highlights of DataQ and when to use it.

You’ll work through real-world video scenarios to practice identifying preventability factors. This training sharpens your ability to review accidents, challenge incorrect classifications, and protect your SMS scores through informed decision-making.
