The issue of safety is something which we take very seriously at Stanford Coachworks. We supply vehicles which contain the very latest in digital technology and with style and comfort in mind but safety is always at the forefront.
This equally applies to our bus conversions. All our vehicles are designed and built to ISO standards and are thoroughly tested to ensure that they safe and durable. The aim is to provide comfort and reliability but also value for money.
Every vehicle, whether that is a wheelchair accessible minibus, bus conversion, limousine or refurbished bus (as part of the vehicle improvement programme) has to meet health and safety regulations.
Department of Transport safety standards
Stanford Coachworks vehicles are built to meet Department of Transport regulations governing certain aspects of vehicle safety. These include technical requirements for seatbelts fitted in coaches and minibuses, electronic stability control and the safety of wheelchair passengers in minibuses and other similar vehicles.
More information can be found at the Department for Transport website at: www.dft.gov.uk.
Safety legislation
All of our minibuses, coaches and conversions are designed to meet The Road Vehicles (Construction and Use) Regulations (1986). These regulations contain a set of standards expected in terms of roadworthiness, protective systems, e.g. seatbelts and safe transport of passengers to their intended destination (Source: www.legislation.gov.uk)
Safety inspection and evaluation
At Stanford Coachworks we supply vehicles which not only meet your requirements but are designed to carry passengers in safety and comfort at all times. We give you pride and confidence in your vehicle as well as reassurance about safety and security.
We never cut corners on safety. If a vehicle fails to meet the safety standards as part of quality control during production then it is rejected. Every vehicle is examined from top to bottom and has to meet ISO 9001/2000 standards before it is signed off for approval. This takes place during the production process and forms part of the warranty.
