You and your maintenance regime

Mark Davies, Director

Public Inquiries• Unsatisfactory maintenance

investigations (MIGs)• Prohibitions• Low MoT pass rates• Poor vehicle condition on fleet

inspection• Missing documents

• Poor paperwork• Contradictory paperwork

• PMI v DDR• Poor systems• Lack of training and

auditing/follow up action

Prosecutions• Construction & use offences

• brakes/steering/lights/overloading • Using vehicle in dangerous condition• Dangerous driving• Manslaughter / Corporate Manslaughter

If it all goes wrong…• You’re in the hot seat!• Responsibility & accountability

= giving evidence!• Persuading the court or TC

that best practice has been followed

• Independent evidence or the damning lack of it!

Meeting your obligations:

Ensuring compliance

• Robust systems• Training• Auditing• Action

Best practice: keep up to date!

• STC Guidance & Direction
