Novadata launches the Compliance Health Check

In an increasingly complex transport industry legal framework, training expert Novadata will launch its Compliance Health Check, free at Coach & Bus Live at the NEC 2-3 October 2013. Almost a month after the deadline for bus and coach drivers to have completed their Driver CPC (Certificate of Professional Competence) Novadata will be at hand to help those who need to catch up. Critically, it will also help transport companies to ensure that they comply in other areas covered by transport regulations; as well as helping coach and bus drivers who have obtained a Driver Qualification Card to plan to renew their Driver CPC training every five years in accordance with EU legislation. Su Winch, Managing Director explains, "Healthy compliance is about being able to demonstrate that you have fulfilled all your undertakings, just as much as it is about the compliance itself. In just a few minutes, our free health check will help companies to diagnose the areas in which they need to improve and to identify the correct solution. "The law is quite complex for transport operators and drivers, but your Operator Licence can be at risk if you don’t comply with issues such as the use of tachographs and Drivers Hours legislation. And if you are carrying out daily inspection checks of vehicles but not keeping accurate records, you may still find that you are in breach of the law. We will be helping companies to be healthily compliant.” The company has a host of products to help with healthy compliance, from its specially designed Novadata vehicle compliance check record books to analogue and digital tachograph accessories, tachograph analysis and first aid kits. Novadata is one of the UK’s leading transport training providers, with courses accredited by JAUPT and an examination centre which is approved by City & Guilds, the Confederation of Passenger Transport UK and OCR. The company runs accredited First Aid courses which also count towards Driver CPC training. The team will be on hand with help and advice at Coach & Bus Live; information is also available by calling 01376 552999.
