LGV Operators Licence Compliance Audit

LGV Operators Licence Compliance Audit

The RHA LGV Operators Licence Compliance Audit is designed to measure the performance of your systems and procedures against the legal undertakings listed on your operators licence and the best practice measures applied to the industry. We will provide you with a comprehensive report of our findings, together with easy to understand guidance on how to deal with any shortcomings we identify and make ongoing support available to help you implement any necessary improvements.

Many operators send their completed report to the Traffic Commissioner to demonstrate their compliance but many also use the report for the peace of mind in knowing their policies and procedures comply with the wide range of legislation and best practice that applies to an operators licence holder.

The audit can be completed remotely using a secure document drop box due to the ongoing Covid restrictions.

  • The Operator’s Licence – details on the licence, the type of licence, conditions attached and vehicle inspection intervals etc.
