Revised statutory guidance for commercial fleet operators02 October 2013

Senior traffic commissioner Beverley Bell (pictured) is publishing revised statutory guidance documents this week, which include the standards that haulage, and bus and coach operators are expected to follow.

The senior traffic commissioner's documents also cover key aspects of the regulatory work undertaken by them and provide advice on how the operator licensing system works.

Her new guidance follows a consultation with industry on the proposed revisions to the documents, which were first published in December 2011.

Bell says: "These documents set out what commissioners expect from those working in the haulage, bus and coach industries. They also make clear how commissioners will carry out their work, including at public inquiry."

And she adds: "We would urge all those in the commercial vehicle industry to take the time to download the documents and explore our guidance further. Use them as a starting point for any operator licence questions or concerns, and keep them handy as a reference point when any changes are taking place to your business."
