Q. What is the recommended frequency for conducting safety inspections on our HGV fleet?
A: The frequency of safety inspections for HGVs depends on several factors, including vehicle type, usage, and age. Typically, these inspections should occur every 6 to 8 weeks. These inspections are more detailed than daily checks and should cover the vehicle's mechanical, electrical, and structural integrity. They should be recorded meticulously to track the vehicle's condition over time and to ensure compliance with safety regulations.
