Under new CSA safety regulations, some easy-to-fix electrical and braking system problems that are found during roadside checks can add up to high scores for fleets and their drivers. For example, CSA’s BASIC measuring system awards (6) severity points for an inoperable lamp and (3) severity points for defective lighting. The more often these violations are found, the faster the points multiply.
Phillips said its new CSA Qwik-fix kit could help reduce these violations by organizing popular repair parts packaged in a handy carry bag so drivers have what they need at their fingertips.
The kit includes 12 popular parts to fix most electrical problems associated with downtime and problems that ultimately will lead to CSA penalty points. The problem can be fixed quickly right on the spot before the vehicle sees another roadside checkpoint. The kit can be easily customized because it has plenty of room to add parts that your particular vehicles routinely need, according to Phillips.
