In an attempt to control the risk and reduce losses, the La. ORM developed a Driver Safety Program which governs the use of state vehicles. These governing rules were issued with an implementation date of June 1, 1986; complete compliance to be accomplished by June 1, 1987. The University Safety Officer has been delegated authority to manage the program and to issue Nicholls Driver Authorizations to qualified university employees.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A. Driver Authorization <\/strong><br \/>\nNicholls State University employees who drive University vehicles or privately owned vehicles for university business are required to obtain a Nicholls Driver Authorization each year. An Authorization and Driver History Form (Form DA2054) must be completed with the employee\u2019s signature and the safety officer\u2019s signature before authorization to drive vehicles for university business can be issued.<\/p>\n<p><strong>B. Driver Training <\/strong><br \/>\nAll authorized drivers shall successfully complete an ORM recognized defensive driving course within ninety (90) days of entering the program and shall complete a refresher course at least once every three years unless their class of license requires other additional training or testing. Drivers who have convictions on their motor vehicle records shall be required to retake a recognized driving course within ninety (90) days of notification of a conviction. The University Safety Officer and other certified University personnel have been authorized to conduct driver training courses for Nicholls State University employees.<\/p>\n<p><strong>C. Accident Reports <\/strong><br \/>\nEvery University employee who is authorized to drive a university vehicle is given a Louisiana State Driver Program Accident Report (DA2041) along with instructions on how to complete the form. In the event of an accident, authorized drivers are required to remain at the scene until all required information is obtained and medical treatment has been initiated for everyone suffering bodily injury as a result of the accident.<\/p>\n<p><strong>D. Audit of Driver Safety Program<\/strong><br \/>\nDriver Safety Program compliance review and audit will be conducted by the Office of Risk Management (ORM).<\/p>\n<p><strong>E. Definitions:<br \/>\nAccident \u2013<\/strong> Any incident in which the vehicle comes into contact with another vehicle, person, object or animal. Accidents can result in death, personal injury and\/or property damage.<br \/>\n<strong>High Risk Driver \u2013<\/strong> Any individual having three or more convictions, guilty and\/or no contest<em> <\/em>pleas for moving violations; or individual having a single conviction, guilty or\u00a0 no contest plea for operating a vehicle while intoxicated, hit and run, vehicular negligent injury, reckless operation of a vehicle or similar violation, within a one year period.<br \/>\n<strong>University Vehicle \u2013<\/strong> Any vehicle owned, leased and\/or rented by Nicholls State University, including any privately-owned vehicle used in the course and\u00a0 scope of University employment.<br \/>\n<strong>Regular Driver \u2013<\/strong> Any individual whose normal job duties require him\/her to drive to fulfill the course and scope of his\/her employment on a regular basis (once a week).<br \/>\n<strong>Occasional Driver \u2013<\/strong> Any individual whose normal job duties do not require him\/her to drive to fulfill the course and scope of his\/her employment (may drive infrequently).<br \/>\n<strong>Non-Driver<\/strong> \u2013 Any individual whose normal job duties do not require him\/her to drive (even on an irregular or infrequent basis) to fulfill the course and scope of his\/her employment. (may drive in an emergency situation only).<br \/>\n<strong>Unauthorized (\u201cNot Authorized\u201d) Driver &#8211;<\/strong> A driver shall be considered \u201cNot Authorized\u201d if he\/she meet ANY of the following criteria:<br \/>\n1. Is defined as a high risk driver.<br \/>\n2. Did not complete\/pass the ORM recognized-driver course within the allowed time period.<br \/>\n3. Does not have a valid driver\u2019s license.<br \/>\n4. The official driving record isn\u2019t cleared of all flags.<br \/>\n5. Did not complete the annual Authorization and Driving History Form (DA 2054)\u00a0 and\/or have it signed by the employee and agency head\/designee.<br \/>\n<strong>State Business &#8211;<\/strong> Any legal and lawful activity conducted\/engaged in, by an employee or agent of the State of Louisiana, on behalf of and benefiting the state in the course and scope of fulfilling his\/her job duties.<br \/>\n<strong>Wireless Telecommunications Device &#8211; <\/strong>Any type of instrument, device, or machine that is capable of transmitting or receiving telephonic, electronic, radio, text, or data communications, including but not limited to a cellular telephone, a text-messaging device, a personal digital assistant, a computer, or any other similar wireless device that is designed to engage in a call or communicate text or data.<\/p>\n<p><strong>F. Background <\/strong><br \/>\nThe high cost of insurance has forced the State of Louisiana to develop a program that aims to reduce the number of vehicular accidents and thereby limit the increase in insurance cost. The most effective way to control cost is to restrict vehicle operations to a minimum number of drivers who have good driving records.<br \/>\nThe Nicholls Driver Safety Program is designed to limit potential for vehicular accidents by:<br \/>\n1.\u00a0 Increasing supervisory involvement in the management of vehicular operations.<br \/>\n2.\u00a0 Ensuring Nicholls drivers meet established driver authorization criteria.<br \/>\n3.\u00a0 Providing required defensive driver training.<br \/>\n4.\u00a0 Investigating all accidents to determine the cause and taking necessary action to prevent recurrences.<\/p>\n<p><strong>G. General Provisions<\/strong><br \/>\n1.\u00a0\u00a0 Employees will be authorized to operate state vehicles only when it is a genuine job requirement and when they are fully licensed and trained.<br \/>\n2.\u00a0\u00a0 Employees designated as \u201cRegular Drivers\u201d are required to complete a defensive driving course within 90 days of receiving driver authorization and every three years thereafter unless his\/her driving record dictates a need for additional training.<br \/>\n3.\u00a0\u00a0 An employee\u2019s need for operating university vehicles will be reviewed annually. Those who no longer having a work-related need to drive a state vehicle or who are deemed high-risk drivers will lose their driving privilege.<br \/>\n4.\u00a0\u00a0 An employee may be subject to disciplinary action if he\/she:<br \/>\na.\u00a0 Knowingly and intentionally operates a University vehicle without current driving authorization.<br \/>\nb.\u00a0 Fails to report an accident involving a University vehicle; or<br \/>\nc.\u00a0 Is convicted of reckless operation of a motor vehicle; driving while intoxicated; causing negligent injury; and\/or similar violations while driving a University vehicle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>H. Criteria for Driver Authorization <\/strong><br \/>\nThe following criteria will be used to determine employee\u2019s eligibility for driver authorization:<br \/>\n1.\u00a0 Valid organizational need;<br \/>\n2.\u00a0 Individual\u2019s physical and attitudinal suitability to operate the specific type vehicle;<br \/>\n3.\u00a0 Individual\u2019s training and qualifications to operate the specific type vehicle;<br \/>\n4.\u00a0 Individual\u2019s Motor Vehicle Record (MVR); and<br \/>\n5.\u00a0 Individual\u2019s valid motor vehicle driver\u2019s license.<\/p>\n<p><strong>I. Class of Vehicles<\/strong><br \/>\nThese factors determine vehicle class: usage, axel count and passenger load. The class authorization for each university driver is dependent upon the class of vehicle to be driven and the principle purpose for driving the vehicle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Class A Commercial Driver&#8217;s License &#8211; Combination Vehicles &#8211; <\/strong>Permits the operation of all vehicles within Classes B, C, D and E, with any appropriate endorsements and any combination of vehicles with a gross combination weight rating of 26,001 pounds or more, provided that the gross vehicle weight rating of the vehicle or vehicles being towed is in excess of 10,000 pounds.<strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Class B Commercial Driver&#8217;s License &#8211; Heavy Straight Vehicle &#8211; <\/strong>Permits the operation of any vehicle within Classes C, D and E, with any appropriate endorsement(s) plus any single vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rating of 26,001 pounds or more. A &#8220;straight vehicle&#8221; is defined for the purpose of this class as being one that does not bend or have a moveable joint in its frame between the driver seat and the cargo or passenger compartment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Class C Commercial Driver&#8217;s License &#8211; Light Vehicle &#8211; <\/strong>Permits the operation of any vehicle within Classes D and E, with any appropriate endorsement(s), plus any single vehicle with a gross vehicle weight rate of less than 26,001 pounds. This group includes vehicles designed to transport 16 or more passengers, including the driver, and which are not within the definition of a Group A or B vehicle, and vehicles used in the transportation of placarded amounts of hazardous materials.<strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Class D Chauffeurs Driver&#8217;s License &#8211; <\/strong>Permits the operation of all vehicles included in Class E plus any single motor vehicle used in commerce to transport passengers or property if the motor vehicle has a gross vehicle weight rating of 10,001 or more pounds but less than 26,001 pounds; or any combination of vehicles used in commerce to transport passengers or property if the vehicle has a combined vehicle weight rating of 10,001 or more pounds but less than 26,001 pounds (inclusive of a towed unit with a gross vehicle weight rating of more than 10,000 pounds); or any vehicle designed or utilized for the transportation of passengers for hire or fee; and not utilized in the transportation of materials found to be hazardous under the provisions of the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act which requires the vehicle to bear a placard under the provision of Hazardous Materials Regulations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Class E Driver&#8217;s License &#8211; Personal Vehicle<\/strong> <strong>&#8211; <\/strong>Permits the operation of any single motor vehicle under 10,000 pounds gross vehicle weight, any personal use recreational vehicle and farm vehicles controlled and operated by a farmer to transport agricultural products, farm machinery, or farm supplies to and from a farm within 150 air miles of the owner&#8217;s or operator&#8217;s farm (not used in operation of a Common or Contract Carrier, and not used to transport passengers or property for hire); or any other vehicle which is not used in the transportation of hazardous materials which is required to be placarded. No first-time application for a Louisiana Class E license shall be received from any person seventeen (17) years of age or older unless there is also submitted with the application written evidence of the successful completion by the applicant of a full thirty-eight (38) hour driver&#8217;s education course or of an approved six (6) hour &#8220;pre-licensing&#8221; training course which was approved by the Louisiana Department of Public Safety &amp; Corrections.<\/p>\n<p><strong>J.
