Operator Compliance Risk Score (OCRS)

The Operator Compliance Risk Score system (OCRS) has been developed by by the Vehicle and Operator Services Agency (VOSA) as a way of assigning goods and passenger vehicle operators a rating that allows enforcement officers to identify which vehicles are most likely to be non-compliant.

The system which is used at the roadside flags operators as having a green, amber or red status, with those that are green most likely to be compliant and those that are red least likely. Generally an operator with a red score is more likely to be checked.

An operator’s status depends on a roadworthiness score and a traffic enforcement score. These scores are calculated from data collated at previous events or tests. Or in the case of new operators, predictive scores are used.
