Collision reviews

Before you apply

In accordance with Standard 7 of the National Safety Code (NSC), all collisions reported to us involving a regulated, commercial vehicle appears on the carrier’s profile.

We will consider removing collision points from a Carrier’s Profile by way of a Collision Points Review if the carrier, or carrier’s representative, can show reasonable justification to have those points removed.

Carriers wishing to have a collision reviewed under Alberta’s NSC program must complete an application form and submit to Compliance & Oversight section.

All applicable sections of the application are required to be fully completed in order for the application to be considered.

Should a review support the removal of collision points, the carrier profile will be updated by having these points removed, and the points will not be used as part of the Intervention and Discipline Policy.

Incomplete applications will not be processed.
