DVSA data underlines critical importance of defect checks

The importance of commercial vehicle fleets undertaking regular defect checks is underlined by statistics from the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) suggesting that operators are finding it difficult to keep vans and HGVs in a roadworthy condition.
 
Jaama, the UK’s leading fleet industry asset management software system provider, claims that good computer systems can streamline administration and make the process of ensuring vehicle compliance more robust.   Key2’s Defect Manager Module has been developed to aid commercial vehicle operators in controlling costs as well as ensuring legal compliance.
 
The technology provides an online tick box check list for the completion of a walk-round appraisal of all vehicles.
 
Hopefully, many are likely to record ‘nil’ defects, but any work that is required can be easily recorded and then arrangements made for the vehicle to be booked into a workshop for defect rectification.
 
The system provides companies with a complete online auditable trail of vehicle checks and rectification work undertaken to ensure legal and industry best practice health and safety regulations compliance.
