Specifying FORS can help ensure all road transport operators contracted by developers or contractors are assessed to meet the highest possible environmental, safety and efficiency standards.

TfGM hosted members from Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) on the 11th July 2019 for a discussion on CLOCS and its benefits.

As sponsors of Tuesday night’s Finalist Briefing for the Construction Manager of the Year Awards (CMYA), CLOCS had a great opportunity to directly address some of the most talented construction managers this year.

A new CLOCS Strategy, Standards and Governance Board (SSGB) has been appointed with a clear focus on driving CLOCS forward.

Taking place on 6 November 2019 in London’s Alexandra Palace, Freight in the City Expo will be full of key decision-makers looking for the latest technology and equipment to make urban freight movements safer, cleaner, quieter and more efficient.

FORS has launched a free online bank of toolkits designed to help FORS operators collate and manage their fleet data.

Gate teams sometimes have a thankless task – they’re out in all weathers, poorly paid, suffer abuse from the general public and even lorry drivers – yet are critical to ensuring vehicles enter and leave the site safely and efficiently.

Greater Manchester is forging ahead in driving CLOCS adoption and implementation across the city-region.

The CLOCS Standard requires principal contractors to specify CLOCS compliance but what are organisations actually asking for?

Delivery Management Systems (DMS) are used to maximise the productivity of the construction site and fleet operators servicing the site. CLOCS is currently conducting a survey of 100 principal contractor CLOCS champions to understand their current use and ideas for improvement.

FORS – the voluntary accreditation scheme for any company operating commercial vehicles anywhere in the UK or overseas – will be hosting a series of briefings designed to assist organisations that specify FORS in their supply chain, or that intend to do so in the future.

Like most things in life, the more you put in to CLOCS, the more you get out. Your active involvement as a CLOCS Champion is as vital to you as it is to the success of the programme.
