Why Compliance Audits Are Essential for Rugby Operators
Our professional audits offer extensive benefits to your transport operation:
- ✅ Regulatory Compliance — We ensure that every vehicle across your fleet—trucks, coaches, minibuses, and limousines—fully complies with DVSA licensing rules, driver hours regulations, tachograph standards, and roadworthiness guidelines as specified in the DVSA Guide to Maintaining Roadworthiness.
- ✅ Safety Enhancement — Early identification of hazards and compliance issues protects your drivers, passengers, and the public, while lowering the risk of accidents and enforcement actions.
- ✅ Operational Efficiency — By analysing fuel consumption, optimising routes, and ensuring timely maintenance, audits help reduce operational expenses and improve service delivery.
- ✅ Proactive Risk Management — Detecting and resolving compliance issues before they escalate reduces the potential for licence downgrades, suspensions, or revocations.

Operator Compliance Risk Score (OCRS) — Improve and Maintain Your Rating
A red OCRS score flags increased DVSA inspections and regulatory risks. Our audits identify root causes and guide targeted corrective actions, enabling you to regain a green rating and protect your licence.
Preparing for DVSA Desk-Based Assessments
DBAs are remote DVSA reviews of compliance documents and management systems. Failure can lead to warnings, fines, or suspensions. Our audits prepare Rugby operators by identifying and closing gaps ahead of DBAs, demonstrating proactive compliance and reducing enforcement risks.
Driver Conduct Hearings — Defend Your Licence and Reputation
Driver conduct impacts licence validity. We assist Rugby operators in showcasing strong compliance programs, detecting early risk factors, and providing actionable mitigation to preserve both licences and reputations.
