A person is not to be accredited under the regulations unless Main Roads is satisfied the person has in place systems that comply with prescribed standards. Standards are designed to ensure compliance with fatigue, mass, dimension or loading requirements, vehicle standards and roadworthiness requirements and adherence to any written law relevant to the driving or operation of restricted access vehicles. Entry audits An entry audit must have all documents and records available for audit. Where records are not available then a systems audit (refer to 5.4) may be conducted. A systems audit must contain the following documents and records: Vehicle Roadworthy Certificates (completed and signed); Fatigue Management Plan; Commercial Vehicle Driver Medicals completed by a qualified medical practitioner; Training and education records (including fatigue); Policies and procedures to address the standards; Signed Maintenance, Fatigue and Dimension and Loading Management Policies (single operator); and Signed Statement of Responsibilities. If a systems audit has been submitted for entry purposes a subsequent entry audit must be conducted within three months from the date the operator was first accredited, this provides an operator with the opportunity to gather the required information and documentation to support their accreditation application. Applicants seeking to operate under AMMS permits or PBS permits with extra mass must submit an entry audit. Applicants are required to have systems in place that demonstrate compliance with the Mass Management Module Standards as stipulated in their Loading Plan for each loading point. If records are not available for the Mass Management Module entry audit, an auditor must ensure the operator has the required procedures and loading plans in place. Existing accredited operators may conduct an entry audit for the Mass Management Scheme at any time during an accreditation cycle. Future compliance and re-entry audits will be conducted as part of normal accreditation audits. Compliance audits A compliance audit assesses the effectiveness of a management system by examining and measuring the level of compliance achieved over a given period. Compliance audits fall into three categories: scheduled, random and triggered. For the purposes of this section the anniversary date is the anniversary of the accreditation commencement date. Scheduled audits WAHVA scheduled compliance audits are conducted on an annual basis within three months prior to the anniversary date.
