If you’re a vehicle operator, your drivers might be stopped at the roadside by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency (DVSA) for vehicle inspections. DVSA uses the Operator Compliance Risk Score (OCRS) system to decide which vehicles should be inspected. DVSA uses OCRS to calculate the risk of an operator not keeping their vehicles safe to drive or breaking safety rules, such as drivers’ hours. It’s more likely that your vehicles will be inspected if your OCRS is high. You can check your OCRS report to see what your score is.
OCRS is worked out for each of your operator licences. An
individual vehicle will not have its own OCRS. When DVSA detects a new offence
or identifies a defect, points will get added to your OCRS. When DVSA records
an event where no points are allocated (known as a ‘clear event’), this will
reduce your OCRS. Events that happened more than 3 years ago are removed from
your OCRS. This means your score will change, depending on whether the events
from 3 years ago were positive or negative.
You will not have an OCRS score if you have a new licence or have not interacted with DVSA in the last 3 years. You will not have an OCRS if you only operate vehicles exempt from operator licensing.
