DECISION
ELECTRIFICATION CONSTRUCTION SERVICES LTD OC2029420
I record a formal warning on the standard national goods vehicle licence of Electrification Construction Services Ltd OC2029420.
On findings pursuant to Sections 26(1)(b), 26(1)(e) and 26(1)(f) of the Goods Vehicles (Licensing of Operators) Act 1995, the standard national goods vehicle operator’s licence of Electrification Construction Services Ltd OC2029420 is curtailed with immediate effect to 2 vehicles and 2 trailers until further order.
The following undertaking offered by Electrification Construction Services Ltd OC2029420 shall be recorded on the licence:
The operator will arrange an independent audit to be carried out by a DVSA-authorised audit provider, the RHA, Logistics UK, or other suitable independent body in May 2024. The audit will assess the systems for complying with maintenance and drivers’ hours requirements, and the effectiveness with which those systems are implemented. The audit should cover at least the applicable elements in the attached annex. The auditor must be provided with a copy of the DVSA reports from 2022 and 2023 and asked to comment on the progress made on the findings of those reports. A copy of the audit report, together with the operator’s detailed proposals for implementing the report’s recommendations, must be sent to the Office of the Traffic Commissioner at Golborne within 14 days of the date the operator receives it from the auditor and by no later than 30 June 2024.
All vehicles will undergo a laden roller brake test as part of every PMI. All trailers will be brake tested at the frequency according to the current guidance in the Guide to Maintaining Roadworthiness. The results will be recorded, and the records will be kept for at least 15 months.
By 29 February 2024 Shane Williams will either:
-

participate in a virtual online operator licence management course.
Courses must be run by one of the following bodies:
-

-
a firm of solicitors (or their associated training organisation) with significant experience with road transport regulatory and compliance issues (defined as having represented road transport
operators and/or transport managers in at least 20 public inquiries over the past two years).

TRANSPORT MANAGER JAMES ASHTON
I record a formal warning against Transport Manager James Ashton. His good repute is marked as tarnished but not lost.
I direct that OTC staff amend the VOL record to show Mr Ashton as an “internal” Transport Manager on this licence.
