Operator Compliance Audits
Transport Consultancy Services
"Holders of operator licences are required to have systems and arrangements in place to ensure the safe and legal operation of vehicles used under the licence. The use of independent audits is an important tool that operators can use to test their systems and identify weaknesses. A traffic commissioner may accept undertakings from operators as a way to demonstrate a commitment to future compliance and mitigating the need for regulatory action against a licence."
"Audits should be conducted by people or organisations who are independent of the operator. The body conducting the audit must be free to report accurately on the operator without pressure. Payment cannot be linked to the successful outcome of an audit."
"When procuring a provider an operator may wish to establish the qualification of the person conducting the audit. A good indication is ISO 9001:2015 certification, as the international standard that defines the requirements for a quality management system, but this is not mandatory. Experience in the industry and carrying out audits may be as valuable. A TM CPC, up-to-date CPD and no adverse licensing history are also important." (*Traffic Commissioners of Great Britain)
