Keeping Tippers & Tankers Compliant
You and your maintenance regime
Mark Davies, Director
The Impact Of Poor Maintenance

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
• Guide to Maintaining Roadworthiness
• DVSA guides• Industry guides
