4 Roadworthiness Inspections FTA s Roadworthiness Inspections provide regular opportunities to fully examine the operational and mechanical condition of your vehicles, to ensure compliance with your legal obligations and help avoid failure at roadside and annual checks. Roadworthiness Inspections satisfy your legal obligations to the Road Traffic Act 1988 which state that your vehicles must be maintained to a roadworthy standard. In addition to providing a legal necessity, these inspections can also help reduce the risk of occurring penalties such as Operator Compliance Risk Score (OCRS) points and fixed penalties at the roadside. A Roadworthiness Inspection reports on defects which could affect the safety, legality or reliability of a vehicle before the next scheduled inspection. These inspections are subject to varying timeframes. However, as a general example, every six weeks is fairly standard. The timeframe will vary depending on useage of vehicles, the conditions in which they operate and manufacturers guidelines. A typical Roadworthiness Inspection includes: an inspection of all items covered on the statutory annual test an inspection of all items that should be covered by driver walk around checks. These include lights, tyres, wheel fixings, bodywork, trailer coupling, load security and ancillary equipment a computer printed report of all items contravening annual test regulations, and that may affect the compliance and reliability of the vehicle, the severity of these defects and the level of prohibition the defect would attract at a VOSA roadside check Roadworthiness Awards Our prestigious Roadworthiness Awards highlight FTA members efforts to keep their fleets safe, legal and efficient. Award winners are presented with a custom-printed 1:50 scale model truck, a certificate and a mention in FTA s Freight magazine. Previous award winners include: Strathclyde Fire and Rescue Willi Betz UK Ltd Hanson UK For more information on this award scheme please visit By using FTA s Vehicle Inspection Services, Enterprise is able to benchmark not only our internal procedures but also have a national overview of our service providers and standards of maintenance across our large and diverse fleet. The fleet management information provided covers all aspects of our operation from vehicle standards through to our maintenance system, auditing and driver performance. I d advocate the use of FTA s Vehicle Inspection Services for all fleets to assist and monitor vehicle compliance issues. Debbie Vaughan CMILT Transport Compliance Manager Enterprise plc *
5 Maintenance Inspections FTA s Maintenance Inspections are a fully comprehensive visual, operational and mechanical condition check of your vehicles to ensure compliance with your legal obligations and help avoid failure at roadside and annual checks. They can also provide opportunities to reduce maintenance costs, through wear and tear evaluation and allow for early detection of defects, thus increasing reliability and peace of mind that you are operating legally, safely and efficiently. A Maintenance Inspection builds on the Roadworthiness Inspection and is a complete in-depth visual examination which provides a valuable insight into maintenance standards and the general care of the vehicle including its cosmetic appearance. A typical Maintenance Inspection covers all items as per the Roadworthiness Inspection and other areas including: road/brake test tyre tread depth tyres engine and cooling system fuel system exhaust system clutch, gearbox, transmission suspension electrical system, lights, reflectors steering gear chassis and frame wheels and axles brake system bodywork and ancillary equipment A comprehensive breakdown of the components checked and a coding for each separate area allows you to realise the extent of the condition of the component and its potential to become a defect given time. This then enables you to make provisions for remedial works, as and when the condition of the component becomes in danger of becoming a contravention item. FTA carries out Roadworthiness and Maintenance Inspections on many types of vehicles at your premises including HGVs, tractor units, vans, tankers and specialist vehicles such as fire engines and refuse vehicles. We are passionate about our vehicle compliance and use FTA s Vehicle Inspection Service to give us an independent review of the condition of our vehicle fleet. FTA remain our first choice for unprejudiced, objective, high quality inspections which are key to our compliance and the smooth running of our operation. We have come to rely on FTA and with such helpful, highly skilled and knowledgeable staff I would recommend them to any vehicle operation Darren Smith Airside Transport Technical Manager Heathrow Airport Ltd 5
6 Audits Much time, energy and money is spent on carrying out various procedures to ensure that operator licence regulations are met. Yet how can you be sure that all the systems you have in place are being carried out properly, cover all the areas necessary and are in line with VOSA s recommendations? FTA s audits examine various aspects of your operation to ensure that you are fully aware of how your procedures are being carried out, whether they conform with the latest regulations and recommendations and if there are any aspects of your operation that may require attention. Vehicle Maintenance Systems Audit A Vehicle Maintenance Systems Audit provides independent auditing of the systems and procedures you have in place to deal with your vehicle maintenance arrangements, using recommendations in VOSA s Guide to Maintaining Roadworthiness as the benchmark. The comprehensive reports produced break down your systems into seven key areas and include best practice tips and invaluable advice for determining which areas of your operation require special consideration, in order to avoid non-compliance should VOSA visit your operating centre. A typical Vehicle Maintenance Systems Audit will cover the following areas of your systems and records. Driver walk around checks Driver defect reporting Safety inspections Maintenance facilities Quality monitoring Records Vehicle condition Driver Walk Around Check Audit A Driver Walk Around Check Audit provides an independent stop and check at random on vehicles that are about to exit your premises. These checks will enable you to quality monitor the competency of the drivers carrying out their routine checks and the number of driver detectable defects going unnoticed. Over 50 per cent of all defects found from FTA vehicle inspections should have been found by the driver During a check the following areas will be examined: lights tyres wheel fixings bodywork trailer coupling load security ancillary equipment The findings from the check will then be cross referenced with the driver s own records and a report will be produced on the day, showing the defects found and any vehicles that were free of driver reportable defects. The Travis Perkins Group use the FTA Vehicle Inspection Service as an integral part of our compliance and auditing process. Having a dedicated FTA Contract Manager overseeing this service gives us confidence that any issues raised are reported and acted upon to ensure that Travis Group requirements are met. Liam Holland Group Transport Manager Travis Perkins *
7 Management Reporting Effective management information is vital to ensure you are fully aware of any potential gaps in your compliance, to increase business efficiency and pinpoint safety issues. FTA s Management Reporting provides a detailed analysis of the condition of your fleet, maintenance arrangements and systems, outlining their effects on the efficiency of your business and training needs. The latest addition to our reporting suite is the online, interactive FTA Gateway. The FTA Gateway offers marketleading reporting at your fingertips (see overleaf for more information). Along with our interactive Gateway, our management information enables managers to benefit from our extensive database of inspection reports, allowing accurate sector benchmarking and industry comparison. It will also allow for quick pinpointing of any safety, legal and maintenance issues. You can measure the impact of any changes that you have implemented. In addition to the Reporting Gateway (presented overleaf), there are a variety of reports that we can create to show trends such as the following. Manufacturer or maintenance provider report A report allowing you to compare the performance of your fleet by quality monitoring your maintenance providers and the manufacturers of your vehicles. Operator Compliance Risk Score (OCRS) reports A report detailing the OCRS points that your vehicles would have attracted if they had been stopped by VOSA at the roadside. These reports can benchmark depots and maintenance providers as well as showing where the defects are. Maintenance system and compliance audit report Following an audit of your systems and procedures at each depot, FTA engineers will present reports back to you in person detailing areas that require attention and are on hand to discuss any action that is required. Replacing our in-house inspector with FTA inspections, has saved us around 75% in costs per year. Walkers Snack Foods Ltd Using FTA inspections has enabled significant cost savings to be achieved. Glasgow City Council Using FTA vehicle inspections has enabled us to make net annual savings of 260 per truck. Greggs plc Using FTA Vehicle Inspection Services provides us with a cost saving of 35% against other internal and external options. Asda Stores Ltd How much could you save with FTA? 7
8 FTA Gateway The FTA Gateway is the ultimate tool for all managers. Our exclusive, online, interactive suite provides all the management information you need to ensure you are on top of the compliance of your fl eets whilst saving time and helping to prioritise business decisions. For those who use our tachograph services, the Gateway can act as a portal to not only your vehicle inspection data but your tachograph and drivers hours compliance also. The FTA Gateway is accessed through a secure online portal and aims to provide a very clear view of your vehicle inspection reports. The interactive nature of the service allows quick and easy interrogation of reports from a dashboard overview to the fi ner detail. From the summary page a number of more detailed reports are available including: defects components comparison trends vehicle Summary page dashboard overview The summary page shows the average number of defects and the number of inspections carried out on clear digital counters.

12 Additional Inspections FTA s experienced engineers are trained to high standards and can provide a wide range of inspections to suit your requirements. Whether you are looking at purchasing new vehicles, involved in a merger or fl eet takeover or whether your vehicle lease contract is about to expire, FTA has a solution to ensure you are fully aware of the condition and potential value of a vehicle or fl eet. These unbiased examinations can be carried out on any type of vehicle from vans through to HGVs and tankers. Specialist vehicles such as waste vehicles and vehicles with tail lifts or other lifting equipment can also be thoroughly checked. Pre Purchase Inspections Pre Purchase Inspections are designed to provide suffi cient information on the condition of the vehicle to enable a decision on whether or not a purchase should be made. The inspection includes a full Maintenance Inspection, a standard road and brake test, plus a report on the details of the vehicle including plated weights, test certifi cate details and types of tyres. We can also manage leasing processes, communicate with operators and arrange the inspections for the lessor. End of Lease Inspections This independent third party inspection provides an objective report on the condition of the vehicle, considering fair wear and tear and highlighting areas requiring repair before the vehicle is returned. Estimated repair prices can be supplied on request. Due Diligence Inspections Due Diligence Inspections are designed to examine the condition of a fl eet of vehicles, or to show its fi nancial value in the event of a takeover or merger. Lifting Equipment Inspections In addition to our regular Roadworthiness and Maintenance Inspections, FTA engineers can also carry out a full visual, operational and mechanical inspection of any lifting equipment including tail lifts, lorry mounted cranes, bin lifts and demountable body systems. For inspections within the warehouse, including forklift trucks and warehouse racking, a brochure is available on request. Inspections of lifting equipment have to meet standards governed by the Health and Safety Executive (LOLER/PUWER). These standards stipulate that inspections must be carried out by a person who is independent, impartial and competent. Lifting equipment should be inspected once every 12 months or once every six months in a man-up operation. Case study Strathclyde Fire & Rescue is one of the largest fi re and rescue services in Europe and serves an area of 14,000 square kilometres. Having found that its own centralised workshops were too far away to effi ciently inspect and maintain vehicles based at its more remote stations, Strathclyde Fire & Rescue turned to FTA. A best value review of the procedures the service had in place found that using FTA s skilled engineers to inspect its remote vehicles would save them time and money. From this simple solution Strathclyde Fire & Rescue has seen notable cost savings due to reduced vehicle downtime and has been given peace of mind that it has an increased number of safe, legal and reliable vehicles in service at any one time. Strathclyde Fire & Rescue has benefi tted greatly from the continued support it has received from FTA and their inspections have been key to our compliance, effi ciency and smooth running of operations within our remote locations. Benny Mallon operations Manager Strathclyde Fire & Rescue *
13 Tanker Inspection and Certification Service FTA s Tanker Inspection and Certifi cation Service provides comprehensive examinations of tankers and their associated equipment in accordance with the schedules of the current road transport regulations for dangerous goods movement. The testing carried out follows the industry standard guidelines of pressure and leakproofness testing. Regular tank inspections ensure compliance with your legal obligations and also provide the opportunity to increase safety and reduce maintenance costs, through early detection of defects. Road Tanker Certifi cation Service This certifi cation complies with schedules of the current road transport regulations for dangerous goods movement and the requirements of ADR for carrying out periodic examinations. The thorough inspections incorporate: a leakproofness and vapour tightness test low pressure oxygen free nitrogen to fi ll the tank ensuring there is no need to clean or degas the tank prior to the test an examination to identify any leaks in the tank and ancillaries (p/v valves, run off pipes, vapour recovery systems and related valves, vents and seals) a comprehensive 31 point check on the safety and integrity of the remainder of the tank and its associated equipment Regular Tank Inspections A regular tank inspection helps ensure that tankers remain compliant in between the periodic examinations test. This stand-alone service provides the operator with a comprehensive inspection of the tank and its equipment, covering 31 individual points. Using FTA for our tanker inspections and certifi cation and gas pressure testing has given us peace of mind that in this highly regulated environment, our vehicles and equipment are safe and legal. This ensures that our transport operation can run smoothly and our customers remain happy. Ray Fowler Transport Manager George J Goff Ltd Following the inspection a certifi cate is provided along with the certifi cation plate and/or relevant stamp. Your legal obligations The schedules of the current road transport regulations for dangerous goods movement require that all dangerous substance tanks have a periodic/intermediate examination at specifi c intervals. The Major Oil Companies Safe Loading Pass Scheme requires a vapour tightness test every two years for all road tankers. Since 1 July 2006, any inspection body which undertakes the inspection or examination of old (pre 9 May 2004) tanks or new (post 10 May 2004) tanks must be appointed by the Department for Transport (DfT)/ Vehicle Certifi cation Agency (VCA) after fi rst satisfying the requirements of the accreditation body UKAS. ADR tanks (post May 2004) are legally required to be tested at a pressure of 200mb every three years and a hydraulic test is required at six yearly intervals to a test pressure of 360 mbar, therefore requiring the tank compartment to be fi lled to its ullage level. FTA s tanker inspection service has successfully acquired UKAS accreditation and DfT/VCA approval for the certifi cation of both old and new tanks. Please note: since 1 July 2010 a change in regulations required old tanks built after 31 December 1996 to ADR standards to be certifi ed to the requirements of new tanks.
