Above and beyond the health screening set out by the DVLA we are committed to ensuring our drivers are checked periodically, in line with the FOR’s requirement on eye sight checks and whether or not action needs to be taken.

We recognise that we are obliged to maintain any vehicle operating on public roads in a safe and roadworthy condition. We have a firm management commitment to ensuring all vehicles driven for business use are legal, safe and roadworthy at all times. This can only be achieved by having a regular servicing, inspection and maintenance system. All vehicles are to be serviced and inspected in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. We also have a robust system for drivers to report any vehicle defects. It is an offence to use an unsafe vehicle on public roads, and drivers have a responsibility to ensure the vehicle is legal and fit for purpose when the vehicle is in their control. All staff must be aware that an unsafe vehicle being in operation identifies a failure in our HGV safety system, and that both company and driver may be prosecuted for using, causing or permitting the use of a defective vehicle.
