HGV operator self-assessment
HGV Compliance Readiness Checker UK
Review the operational controls and evidence that support operator-licence, roadworthiness, drivers’ hours and workforce compliance.
Evidence over intention
A policy alone is not enough. Use inspection sheets, download reports, licence checks, training records and closed corrective actions.
Critical controls
Roadworthiness, valid licensing, safety inspections and tachograph monitoring are treated as priority controls, not averaged away.
Review regularly
Repeat after incidents, prohibitions, MOT failures, fleet changes or internal audits, and record who owns each action.

Self-assessment only, not legal advice or certification. “Not applicable” should be used only where the control genuinely falls outside the operation.
