If you are expecting a visit from VOSA. Having an independent pre-audit by OLMC and taking action in advance can save your OCRS score and help avoid future roadside checks, re-visits by VOSA and enforcement action.

• If you are a new operator
• Failed roadside inspection
• S marked prohibition on a vehicle
• Tachograph infringements at a roadside stop
• Degradation of your OCRS
• Increase in MOT failure rate
• Reports of non-compliance by a member of the public

These are some of the reasons VOSA can be called upon to visit your site and usually do so at a time pre-arranged with the operator. However, VOSA can visit any site, whenever they want, even unannounced if they please.

That's up to the VOSA inspectors on the day, but typically they will look for evidence of non-compliance with legislation. You will need to have proper and demonstratable systems in place that deal with vehicle maintenance, vehicle inspections, tachographs, vehicle records and other things in order to ensure you can satisfy whatever the VOSA inspector's audit requirements are.

If you are expecting a VOSA site visit or even think one might be on its way, making sure you have the essential systems in place is vital to ensuring VOSA inspectors are satisfied with your level of compliance. If you fail to do so, the likely outcome is a worse OCRS score which will result in increased roadside inspections, site visits and the possibility of being called in front of a Traffic Commissioner for a public inquiry where you can lose your operator licence. Having a VOSA Compliance Audit will enable you to identify where your compliance with operator licensing may be lacking. Knowing this enables you to take action before the VOSA site visit and avoid future enforcement action.

We will visit your site in complete confidence and check that you have the processes and systems in place that VOSA inspectors will expect to see. We will provide a detailed report of our findings and advise how to improve your compliance where applicable. Our aim is to make sure you can face a VOSA site visit with the confidence that you are doing what is required.
