Why Compliance Audits Are Vital for Bradford Operators
Our professional audits do more than simply check compliance; they strengthen every aspect of your HGV and PSV operations by offering multiple vital benefits:
- ✅ Regulatory Compliance — Ensuring that your entire fleet—whether trucks, coaches, minibuses, or limousines—meets all licensing, driver hours, tachograph, and roadworthiness requirements laid out in the DVSA Guide to Maintaining Roadworthiness. Keeping up with these standards helps avoid fines, sanctions, and licence revocation.
- ✅ Safety Assurance — Proactively identifying risks and compliance gaps enables you to protect drivers, passengers, and public safety while reducing accidents and operational hazards.
- ✅ Operational Efficiency — Analysing fuel usage, route planning, and maintenance allows you to cut costs, reduce downtime, and improve service reliability.
- ✅ Proactive Risk Management — Early detection and correction of compliance issues prevent escalation that might cost you your licence or business.

- Operator Licence Holders: Maintain licence protection and regulatory compliance.
- Fleet Operators: Ensure every vehicle in your operation adheres to the latest legal standards.

What Our Bradford HGV & PSV Audits Encompass
- Vehicle Maintenance & Roadworthiness
We assess schedules, logs, repair records, and statutory checks to ensure your fleet remains safe, reliable, and legally compliant. - Driver Compliance
Comprehensive review of tachograph data, drivers’ hours compliance, Driver CPC certification, and qualification validity to prevent breaches. - Licensing & Documentation
Verification of Operator Licences, insurance policies, permits, and related compliance paperwork. - Health, Safety & Environmental Management
Analysis of accident reports, emergency response protocols, driver welfare initiatives, and environmental policies fostering sustainable operations. - Financial & Operational Controls
Evaluation of fuel consumption efficiency, route planning, record-keeping accuracy, and internal controls designed to maximise transparency and reduce risk.
Operator Compliance Risk Score (OCRS) — restoring your green rating
A red OCRS score places Bradford operators under heightened DVSA scrutiny, increasing inspection frequency and risking fines or licence loss. Our audits identify root causes and provide practical corrective strategies to reinstate a green rating, securing your licence and minimising enforcement risk.
Preparing for DVSA Desk-Based Assessments
A Desk-Based Assessment (DBA) is a detailed, remote DVSA compliance review based on records and management systems. Failure can trigger severe penalties or licence suspension. Our pre-audit service identifies and closes any compliance gaps ahead of a DBA, ensuring you are viewed as a well-managed, compliant operator.
Driver Conduct Hearings — Protecting your licence and reputation
Driver behaviour significantly influences Operator Licence status. Our audits help Bradford operators prepare for conduct hearings by demonstrating strong compliance systems, identifying risk areas early, and delivering mitigation strategies to protect your business and reputation.
Ongoing Monthly Audits — securing year-round compliance
We offer monthly audit subscriptions to keep your Bradford operation continuously compliant and audit-ready, training your team and refining procedures to manage inspections confidently and avoid last-minute compliance pressures.
