The Board hears appeals of decisions to issue or refuse a safety code permit to motor vehicle operators. A carrier who disagrees with a decision by an officer under the National Safety Code Regulation about:
- whether to issue a National Safety Code number or safety fitness certificate to the carrier, or to suspend or cancel it; or
- the safety rating or safety rating category to assign to the carrier may appeal the decision to the Board.
The Board has the authority to consider all information and factors that the officer could have considered and may make any decision in the matter that the officer could have made.
