Ensure compliance with UK operator licensing using this comprehensive audit checklist. Review operator licence details, validity and conditions, fleet composition, and access to DVSA self service. Assess tachograph setup, calibration, downloads, records, and analysis, plus handling of infringements. Evaluate planning of driver work and monitoring of hours, agency driver records, and incentives. Verify driver licensing checks and documentation on file. Examine maintenance systems including daily walk around checks, defect reporting, scheduled safety inspections, record keeping, and forward planning. Confirm competency of inspectors and agreements with garages. Check evidence of inspections retained for 15 months and ongoing driver CPC training.
