FORS, the Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme, has teamed up with the Metropolitan Police, so that officers from the force’s Commercial Vehicle Unit (CVU) can undertake FORS training as part of efforts to foster better relations with fleet operators.

CLOCS was created with a clear focus on improving safety standards, and while this remains at the core of CLOCS, it has broadened its remit over the years to look at how construction logistics can improve efficiencies, saving time and money, and also drive down emissions and improve air quality.

We look to refresh the SSGB every year and are now inviting all members to consider whether they would be able and willing to make the commitment to join the SSGB in 2024, representing the wider CLOCS community and help shape the future direction of CLOCS.

We were delighted to deliver our latest CLOCS Member Meeting on 16th May where we provided a brief update on progress against our aims and objectives, and also heard from several other organisations who support CLOCS in our drive for safer, leaner and greener construction logistics.

Whilst we focus much of our attention on how to avoid collisions with vulnerable road users, there are a number of suicides each year that we perhaps know less about, and therefore don’t understand the role we might play in avoiding such tragedies.

CLOCS is delighted to be able to offer CLOCS branded signage to members looking to use their vehicles to promote their association with CLOCS and their commitment to protecting vulnerable road users.

The principal aim of CLOCS is zero fatalities or serious injuries from construction related vehicle movements and a key part of achieving that aim is understanding the underlying causes for such incidents.
