Worried about a DVSA desk-based assessment?
What is a DVSA Desk-Based Assessment (DBA), and should you be worried?
Regular compliance audits for your HGV and PSV operations can help avoid DVSA inspections.
A DBA is a record-review by DVSA of your company’s documents, systems, and procedures to ensure proper management of your Operator Licence. Failing to meet their expectations can lead to fines, warnings, or licence suspension. A proactive independent audit before a DBA finds and fixes gaps in driver compliance, vehicle maintenance, record-keeping, and management systems, preparing you fully. Showing a recent audit reduces enforcement risks and helps avoid being called for a DBA.
DBAs are triggered by:
- Missing or inconsistent records like tachograph logs, driver hours, or maintenance documents.
- Previous compliance issues such as fines or enforcement action.
- Licence applications or renewals requiring system checks.
- Concerns about driver management and training.
- Complaints or reports on vehicle or driver safety.
- Risk profiling using DVSA data analysis.
Essentially, a DBA is a paper audit ensuring your systems comply before on-site inspections.
Monthly audits keep your records audit-ready year-round and reduce DBA risk.
