- Elevate Safety Standards: Detect and resolve hidden compliance issues, reducing accidents and protecting drivers, passengers, and the wider public.
- Enhance Efficiency and Profitability: Optimise routes, stabilise fuel consumption, and maintain proactive maintenance scheduling to cut costs and improve service reliability.
- Build Investor and Client Confidence: Demonstrate, via professional audits and reports, your organisation’s commitment to compliance, safety, and quality.

Scope of a Swansea HGV & PSV Compliance Audit
Our audit covers all crucial operational and legal pillars:
- Vehicle Maintenance & Roadworthiness
A deep-dive into your fleet’s servicing schedules, inspection reports, repair records, and compliance with statutory safety obligations to maximise roadworthiness. - Driver Compliance and Certification
Reviewing tachograph logs, drivers’ hours data, Driver CPC validity, ongoing training, and driver qualification monitoring for regulatory conformity. - Licensing Documentation
Thorough verification of Operator Licences, necessary insurance, safety permits, and administrative paperwork integrity with DVSA regulations. - Health, Safety & Environmental Practices
Evaluation of incident reports, emergency and contingency planning, driver welfare strategies, and your environmental responsibility commitment. - Management Controls and Record-Keeping

Operator Compliance Risk Score (OCRS) — Tackling Compliance Risk Head-On
Many Swansea operators face increased DVSA attention due to a red or amber OCRS. Our targeted compliance audits identify the root causes of your score concerns and generate effective action plans, helping you regain and maintain a green compliant status—vital for licence retention and hassle-free operations.
Antecipating and Preparing for DVSA Desk-Based Assessments (DBA)
A DBA from the DVSA is a rigorous document and system review that can have dire consequences if failings are found. Our pre-emptive audits help you uncover and repair potential weak spots long before a DBA is triggered—demonstrating to regulators that your operation is well-managed and fully compliant.
Driver Conduct Hearings — Fortify Your Defence
Driver conduct is often pivotal to operator licensing decisions. We support Swansea operators by producing thorough compliance evidence, identifying risk areas, offering mitigation strategies, and preparing you effectively for hearings to protect both drivers’ and operators’ licences and reputations.
Monthly Compliance Audit Subscriptions — Sustained Regulation Readiness
