SafeSpect - OOS Sticker Prompt

SafeSpec does not prompt the inspector to enter an out of sticker number when an out of service violation is noted on a motor vehicle or intermodal equipment.

In SafeSpec, if you inspect a motor vehicle that does not have any critical vehicle inspection items, and if you do not enter a CVSA decal number, SafeSpec will prompt you to enter a decal number. However, if an out of service violation is noted on a motor vehicle or intermodal equipment, SafeSpec does not prompt you to enter an out of service sticker number. CFR 396.9 states, "(c) Motor vehicles and intermodal equipment declared “out-of-service.” (1) Authorized personnel shall declare and mark “out-of-service” any motor vehicle or intermodal equipment which by reason of its mechanical condition or loading would likely cause an accident or a breakdown. An "'Out-of-Service Vehicle’ sticker" shall be used to mark vehicles and intermodal equipment “out-of-service.” The word "shall" is used to mark out of service vehicle (s) with an out of service sticker. It's required to mark the motor vehicle with a sticker so it should be a required field to be filled in with a sticker number when an out of service defect is noted on the inspection report for the motor vehicle (s) or intermodal equipment.

Request for SafeSpec to prompt or remind the inspector the enter an out of service sticker number when it detects an out of service defect on any motor vehicle (s).
