12. The Commission shall assign to registered persons one of the following safety ratings: “satisfactory”, “conditional” or “unsatisfactory”.
A “satisfactory” safety rating indicates that the registered person has an acceptable record of compliance with the applicable laws and regulations relating to safety and the preservation of the integrity of roads open to public vehicular traffic.
A “conditional” safety rating indicates that the registered person’s right to put a heavy vehicle into operation or operate a heavy vehicle is subject to specific conditions because of a record which, in the Commission’s opinion, reveals deficiencies that can be corrected by the imposition of certain conditions.
An “unsatisfactory” safety rating indicates that the registered person is judged unfit to put a heavy vehicle into operation or operate a heavy vehicle because of a record which, in the Commission’s opinion, reveals deficiencies that cannot be corrected by the imposition of conditions.
