The NHVAS (National Heavy Vehicle Accreditation Scheme) is a formal process that recognizes operators who have implemented robust safety management systems. This accreditation is increasingly being used to demonstrate compliance with general duty requirements under Road Transport Law. The NHVAS is overseen by the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator (NHVR).
As a provider of NHVAS accreditation support, we offer comprehensive assistance to help you become accredited under your chosen module. The available modules include Mass Management, Maintenance Management, and Fatigue Management (Basic or Advanced).
We have developed user-friendly manuals and forms that are designed to simplify the accreditation process. Our consultants are well-versed in the NHVAS requirements and will guide you through the system, ensuring you have a thorough understanding of the steps involved. We also provide ongoing support and assistance whenever needed.
