HGV & PSV Compliance
Compliance Audits
I offer comprehensive operator licence compliance audits specifically designed to help HGV and PSV operators meet the stringent standards set by regulatory bodies, particularly in preparation for any Traffic Commissioner pubic inquiries. As a Lead FORS Auditor as well as a Full Compliance/Traffic Commissioner Referral Auditor (with Logistics UK), I am well-equipped to assist operators in ensuring that all operational practices align with compliance requirements. My audits not only identify potential areas of concern but also provide actionable insights to enhance overall operational efficiency and maintain regulatory adherence, thereby safeguarding your licence and reputation within the industry. I provide these services at fixed fees, ensuring transparency and value for your investment.
Driver Contracts
As a specialist transport solicitor based in Surrey, I provide expert legal support in drafting and reviewing HGV driver contracts to ensure full compliance with UK employment law and transport regulations. I assist operators in creating clear, legally sound agreements that set out key terms, including driver responsibilities, working hours, pay, licensing requirements, disciplinary procedures, and regulatory obligations. My aim is to help businesses manage risk, maintain compliance, and protect their operations while ensuring fair and transparent contractual relationships with drivers. Whether you require a new contract, a compliance review, or advice on employment matters, I offer tailored legal solutions to suit your needs.
Analysis Systems
Creating a compliant and effective compliance analysis system can be a daunting and time-consuming process, particularly if you are unfamiliar with the requirements or if you encounter inconsistent advice from various sources. Drawing on extensive experience in setting up robust compliance systems for operators, I can assist you in establishing and managing the necessary protocols that prioritise vehicle safety and driver wellbeing. By simplifying these processes, I aim to help you maintain compliance with regulatory standards while allowing you to concentrate on the successful operation of your transport business without unnecessary distractions.
Transport Regulatory Training
It is essential to be well-versed in the regulations governing your operator licence, including drivers' hours and record-keeping obligations. My bespoke transport regulatory training packages are designed to equip your management and operations teams with the knowledge and skills necessary to ensure compliance with applicable laws, including operator and driver licensing, DVSA investigations, and working time regulations for both goods and passenger transport. I tailor my training to meet your specific needs, offering a range of options from essential knowledge updates to interactive sessions focused on regulatory risks. By investing in training, you can reduce risk, enhance compliance, and demonstrate a commitment to best practices, ultimately safeguarding your operator’s licence and protecting the future of your business.
