The Audit Process
We employ a methodical, evidence-based approach to auditing, designed to minimize operational disruption while maximizing insight.
Scoping
Defining the audit parameters, identifying key duty holders, and reviewing existing policy documents.
Field Assessment
On-site observation of loading, dispatch, and driver management practices to verify execution.
Data Review
Interrogation of telematics, work diaries, weighbridge dockets, and maintenance records.
Reporting
Delivery of a comprehensive findings report with prioritized, actionable recommendations.
Types of Audits
We offer a range of audit structures to suit your specific regulatory requirements and risk profile.
Gap Analysis
A rapid, high-level assessment comparing your current operations against the HVNL Primary Duty requirements. Ideal for businesses newly establishing their compliance frameworks or after major operational changes.
CoR Risk Audits
A deep dive into how Chain of Responsibility risks (speed, fatigue, mass, dimension, loading) are actually managed on the ground. Tests the effectiveness of controls, not just the existence of policies.
Accreditation Audits (NHVAS / HVA)
Formal audits covering Mass Management, Maintenance Management, and Fatigue Management modules — including support for the transition from NHVAS to the new Heavy Vehicle Accreditation (HVA) scheme under the amended HVNL, audited against the National Audit Standard.
SMS Reviews
Evaluating the architecture and implementation of your Safety Management System against industry best practices and regulatory expectations. Ensures your system is alive, not just a manual on a shelf.
