This year’s Brake Safety Week is scheduled for August 22-28, according to the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA). The enforcement campaign is a part of the larger Brake Safety Awareness Month, which takes place in August.

During CVSA’s annual enforcement event, roadside inspectors will:

• Focus on the brake systems and components as they conduct North American Standard Inspections; and
• Compile data on brake hoses/tubing, the emphasis this year.

The association will issue a report on its findings later this year. The event is also an opportunity for motor carriers to educate drivers and maintenance service providers on importance of brake safety.
