Maintenance shortcomings present a complex problem for Transport Operators, and whilst it is not uncommon for Operators to utilize main dealer maintenance provision as well as Independent maintenance providers, it cannot be forgotten that the undertaking on your Operator License “Vehicles and Trailers, including hired vehicles and trailers, are kept in a fit and serviceable condition” places the responsibility for all maintenance solely upon the Operator.
It is therefore vital that all Operators effectively manage all activity and records for maintenance recorded an their assets at all times.
The management of maintenance documentation is an aspect of our services that we can fully educate and train any operator or agent thereof, but we can also provide a service whereby we undertake compliance checks of the maintenance provider themselves on your behalf.
Utilising Industry standard auditing for maintenance activities, we can fully audit the competence and facilities of your maintenance provider(s) plus we can also undertake a secondary inspection (PMI) on your assets either following its presentation / return from a maintenance provider, or indeed prior to presentation, allowing you advance knowledge of its mechanical condition.
RHN Consultancy Ltd Consultants are fully IRTEC registered and time served Heavy Vehicle technicians competent in this area, plus benefiting from the high standards of audit report writing, giving you the confidence you need in your maintenance provider, or allowing you the compliance activity evidence that may be necessary to forward to enforcement or regulatory parties in the event of a maintenance related problem.
We also have experience of post incident vehicle inspections such as an RTA or other unfortunate occurrence, and can assist with the investigative process on your behalf.
Our maintenance / VIS process can encompass all aspects of your exposure, from Operator Licensing considerations through to VOR and roadworthiness of your assets.
