Vosa was planning to introduce changes to OCRS in April, but these have been put back due to “technical reasons”. Two of the changes are significant – the introduction of a grey rating (replacing the predictive score based on industry averages) for operators on whom Vosa has insufficient data, and a straight-to-red move for those with previously green scores who are caught with one very serious non-compliance. “The most interesting change is the introduction of the grey domain where we are looking at doing away with the predictive scores,” says Peoples. On the issue of straight to red, Peoples disagrees that there should be a straight to green, as suggested by some operators.
