PITT OHIO's Safety Department is Ahead of the Curve
Pittsburgh, PA (December 12, 2011) – PITT OHIO announced that they have created a safety, compliance and risk management software for the transportation, insurance and warehousing industries that includes CSA (Compliance, Safety, Accountability) Tracking and Driver Scorecards. SAFETYBOXTM will help to put safe, compliant, well-trained drivers on the road by tracking related events in one database.
“The days of managing multiple databases for safety compliance are over. Clients can now more efficiently manage, track and report on safety, compliance and risk management of its drivers with one tool,” said Jim Fields, COO at PITT OHIO. SAFETYBOXTM integrates all of your existing databases in one convenient, secure, online location to create unprecedented work process efficiencies and overhead cost savings.
Ron Uriah, PITT OHIO’s Vice President of Safety and Risk Management said, ”SAFETYBOXTM is a valuable resource that captures information from a multitude of areas and databases to monitor driver performance and provide predictability analysis. SAFETYBOXTM integrates facts, updates files, and automatically provides notifications for immediate reference and management. It enables you to do more with less.”
Prior to the Federal Motor Carrier Administration (FMCSA) issuing new regulations, CSA (Compliance, Safety, Accountability) in December 2010, PITT OHIO, known for its premier safety department and commitment to quality, had been using SAFETYBOXTM for over seven years. The company was recently awarded its 5th President’s Trophy, known in the industry as the highest rated safety award.
According to Jeff Mercadante, Director of Safety for PITT OHIO, “SAFETYBOXTM evolved from our own databases, which we used before CSA was even on the horizon. In conjunction with our proactive efforts, this software put our organization further ahead in managing these new CSA regulations.”
Fleet Manager for a fortune 500 pharmacy health care provider in the United States who recently began using SAFETYBOXTM, said, “I chose SAFETYBOXTM because of the safety reputation of PITT OHIO and the trust I had developed with their knowledgeable employee’s. PITT OHIO was the only company willing to customize their software to meet our requirements and expand SAFETYBOXTM to include everything I needed.”

About CSA
Compliance, Safety, Accountability (CSA) is a Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) initiative to improve large truck and bus safety and ultimately reduce crashes, injuries, and fatalities that are related to commercial motor vehicles. It introduces a new enforcement and compliance model that allows FMCSA and its State Partners to contact a larger number of carriers earlier in order to address safety problems before crashes occur. Introduced in December 2010, the program establishes a new nationwide system for making the roads safer for motor carriers and the public.
