WAV Hire Has Compliance Obligations That Standard Vehicle Software Misses
A wheelchair accessible vehicle's ramp or tail lift must be regularly inspected under LOLER. Drivers need appropriate disability awareness training and, for some work, PCV licences. Without tracking these obligations per vehicle and per driver, a single incident exposes you to enforcement action, insurance void, and personal injury liability.
