Wimbledon-based tipper operator has had its licence curtailed for a week after Loose wheel and 'S'-marked prohibitions.
AN EASTBOURNE public inquiry, heard by Deputy Traffic Commissioner (DTC) Mary Kane, was told how the Wimbledon, south London-based tipper operator Cappagh Contractors Construction (London) had received a total of 14 prohibitions, since another curtailment following a July 2009 hearing into maintenance matters,
Geoffrey Morgan, VOSA vehicle examiner, told the hearing Cappagh had picked up two of the 'S--marked prohibitions in February this year, both relating to trucks with loose wheel nuts.
On the latter occasion, two wheels on a vehicle had been "in danger of immediate detachment".
Michael Ferncombe, joint transport manager at Cappagh, said the firm improved its procedures during the year by bringing in a workshop manager, a trans port administrator and SHEQ (Safety Health Environment Quality) manager,
However, he admitted that 'more work needed to be done" to get the new structure working perfectly.
The DTC curtailed the firm's licence from 75 to 60 vehicles for seven days from midnight 27th August 27 to 3rd September and said that the firm must put in place systems including:
Ili Random audits of drivers;
• Safety inspections twice a month; • A nil defect daily reporting system;
• All systems to be audited by RHA or FTA once every six months for a period of two years.
She also ordered that transport managers Thomas and Michael Ferncornbe take a CPC refresher course.
The DTC also rejected a variation application from the firm to increase its authorisation from 75 to 90 vehicles.
