Weighbridge Operator's Licence
Weighbridge attendants should hold a certificate issued by the Chief Inspector of Weights and Measures to prevent the owner of the weighbridge and the weighbridge attendant from being guilty of an offence. To obtain this certificate, a test must be taken.
The maximum penalty for fraud in connection with a public weighting is a fine of £5,000 or 6 months imprisonment or both. The maximum penalty for recording a false weight is a fine of £5,000.
