DAILY WALK AROUND CHECKS

VOSA’s daily walkaround check

Professional HGV drivers who take their responsibilities seriously will know the first step to staying safe on the road takes place before climbing into the cab.

To comply with the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) rules, it’s imperative that you carry out a ‘roadworthiness’ check every time before using your vehicle. Failing to do so could see you hit with a fine of up to £5,000 or, in the event of an accident, you could be found partially liable.

Designed to make sure vehicles meets minimum on-the-road standards, the VOSA daily walkaround check should be performed as part of a driver’s general maintenance routine to help keep other road users safe.

VOSA don’t expect drivers to be skilled mechanics, they just want you to conduct a series of basic checks to ensure all parts are safe and secure – and all instruments are working properly.

You could use a paper form – BUT as an Owner/Manager how do you know if that has even been completed?

Or you could have one of these

The problem with having the records just in the cab is two-fold, firstly as an Owner or Manager you do not know that the checks have been made, secondly, if the vehicle is involved in an accident and is a total loss then you have lost the records.
