Why Compliance Audits Are Crucial for Kettering Operators

A comprehensive audit delivers much more than compliance verification—it strengthens your entire transport operation:

• Absolute Regulatory Compliance — Stay aligned with the latest DVSA licensing rules, tachograph regulations, driver hours laws, and the Guide to Maintaining Roadworthiness covering all vehicles — trucks, coaches, minibuses, and limousines.
• Increased Safety Assurance — Actively reduce risks to drivers, passengers, and the public through detailed audit checks and corrective action.
• Better Operational Efficiency — Optimise fuel usage, enhance route planning, and ensure timely maintenance scheduling to save costs and maximise fleet uptime.
• Proactive Risk Management — Detect and fix compliance gaps, weaknesses in record-keeping, or non-compliant driver behaviours before they jeopardise your licence or your business.

Who in Kettering Needs Our HGV / PSV Compliance Audits?

• Operator Licence Holders (HGV & PSV) looking to protect their licence from enforcement and fines.

• Fleet managers ensuring absolute adherence to DVSA standards for every vehicle and driver record.

• Transport and compliance managers validating their operational systems meet continually evolving legislation.

• New operators establishing stringent compliance frameworks from day one.

• Operators undergoing regulatory reviews or handling past compliance shortcomings.

• Businesses seeking best practice models that boost safety, credibility, and customer trust.

We ensure your documentation is exhaustive, accurate, and fully compliant with all DVSA mandates.

What Our Kettering HGV & PSV Compliance Audits Include:

1. Vehicle Maintenance & Roadworthiness — Complete and ongoing review of inspection logs, repair histories, and maintenance programs.

2. Driver Compliance — In-depth checks of tachograph records, hours worked, CPC training, and verified driver qualifications.

3. Licensing & Documentation — Verification of current Operator Licences, insurance policies, permits, and conformity with DVSA operational steps.

Is Your Operator Compliance Risk Score (OCRS) In The Red?
A red OCRS flags you for increased DVSA inspections and penalties. Our audits identify root causes, correct issues, and help restore your green score to protect your licence and business continuity in Kettering.

Concerned About a DVSA Desk-Based Assessment?
A Desk-Based Assessment is a document-based audit conducted remotely by the DVSA. Failure to comply can result in fines, warnings, or licence suspension. Proactive independent audits identify and correct compliance gaps before a DBA is initiated, reducing enforcement risks and operational disruptions.

Prepare for Driver Conduct Hearings
Driver conduct directly influences your licence standing. Our audits provide evidence of strong compliance programs, help identify areas needing improvement, and offer mitigation recommendations to protect your licence and reputation.
