An RSA (Road Safety Authority) audit is a critical compliance check for transport operators in Ireland, ensuring that your fleet adheres to all legal and safety standards. This thorough inspection evaluates areas such as:

• Vehicle maintenance schedules.

• Driver compliance with regulations.

• Operational policies and procedures.

The audit verifies that your business complies with the requirements of your operator’s license, helping to maintain road safety and avoid penalties, legal actions, or license suspension. Proper preparation is essential to ensure a successful outcome.

Having the correct documentation is vital for a smooth and successful RSA audit. Be sure to prepare:

• Vehicle Maintenance Documents: Records of inspections, servicing, and repairs.

• Driver Compliance Data: Including driver licence checks, training records and tachograph data, for 2 years.

• Policies and Procedures: Your company’s operational compliance guidelines.

• Inspection Records: Daily vehicle walkaround check reports.

• Insurance Certificates: Valid proof of vehicle insurance.

• Incident Logs: If applicable, records of any past incidents/investigations and your follow-up actions.

Organised and up-to-date records demonstrate your commitment to compliance and simplify the audit process.

The length of an RSA audit depends on your fleet size and operational complexity. On average, audits take:

• Small fleets: A few hours.

• Larger operations: Up to a full day.

The audit typically includes:

• An initial review of your documentation and systems.

• A physical inspection of vehicles and inspection workshop to check maintenance and safety standards.

• A discussion with management or key personnel about compliance processes.

By preparing thoroughly and addressing any potential issues beforehand, you can reduce delays and ensure the audit proceeds smoothly.

Failing an RSA audit can lead to serious consequences, including:

• Warnings: Issued for minor non-compliances, with a timeline to correct them.

• Fines and Penalties: For significant breaches of regulations.

• License Restrictions or Revocation: Potentially limiting or halting your operations.

• Reputational Damage: Non-compliance can harm your relationships with clients and partners.

The RSA will provide a detailed report outlining areas of non-compliance. Acting quickly to address these issues is essential. At Fleet Fixation, we specialise in guiding businesses through corrective actions, helping you prepare for re-auditing and ensuring long-term compliance.
