What it proves at audit
Heavy Vehicle Accreditation criteria this document produces evidence for. Check your readiness.
Why operators use it
We use AUDIT-09 to decide what evidence will show whether priority controls are working in real transport and warehousing work, record what monitoring found and close the loop through action, effectiveness verification and management learning.
An SMS needs more than a calendar of checks. Monitoring should give timely, meaningful information about whether actual public risks and critical controls are being managed, detect drift before harm occurs and support action, verification and learning. A zero-incident period, a completed tick sheet or a monitoring date alone does not demonstrate that a control is working.
