Study Notes

ARB Driving Safety Record Point System

Points assigned by the Accident Review Board (ARB) are for tracking driving performance, not disciplinary action.
Employees operating Fire Department vehicles accumulate points for incidents that impact their driving record.

Isa Fire Department Accident Review Program

Licensees with six points in an eighteen-month period undergo review by the ARB.
A successful completion of a remedial driver-training program can remove a maximum of two points but only once in an eighteen-month span.
Accumulating twelve points in thirty-six months results in a maximum twelve-month suspension of driving privileges.
The ARB chairperson informs the Fire Chief of maximum point accrual.

Definitions of Incidents

Accident: Primary cause of collision, injury, or property loss due to driver action or inaction.
Incident: Collision or injury affected by driver actions and external, uncontrollable factors.
Minor Incident: Criteria include non-excessive actions and minimal physical damage.
Non-Chargeable Incident: Driver actions did not contribute to the incident.
Report of Damage: Damage occurs while parked or origins are unknown.
Training Accident/Incident: Damage while training on unqualified apparatus.

Examples of Training Accidents

RFEO certified on an engine training on a ladder without certification is considered a training accident.
RFEO certified on one ladder type training on another unqualified ladder type is also included.

Accidents in Construction Zones

Considered an accident if it occurs while certified on the driving apparatus in a construction zone.

Driving Violations

Negligent practices or police citations for severe violations (e.g., reckless driving, running signals) note a breach of defensive driving.
Include confirmed negligence while operating Fire Department vehicles.

Point Categories for Accidents/Incidents

Accident: 4 points
Incident: 3 points
Minor Accident/Incident: 2 points
Non-Chargeable Incident / Report of Damage / Training Non-Certified / Training RFEO Certified / Construction Accident / Incident: 0 points
Driving Violations: 0-2 points depending on severity.

Point Assessment and Application

Points assessed based on the investigation; ARB determines the level (0-4 points).
For training and construction incidents, a half-value point system is applied (0-2 points).
