FORS Collision Manager As we close out the year it is important to remember that winter brings the most challenging weather conditions to drive in. FORS Collision Manager reported that 35% of reported collisions occur during the dark. The data also revealed 29% of all collisions recorded occur during the winter time, so please be careful when out on the road. To help to reduce the possibility of road accidents please ensure your vehicles are roadworthy by adhering to section V1 in the FORS Standard. To further support your drivers, ensure they complete FORS eLearning modules on truck smart or van smart. These courses will train your drivers how to correctly perform walk around checks in addition to teaching them how to apply good practice in the variety of scenarios they may encounter.
CLOCS in the news Changing the very nature of driving Businessman Eddie Collins has been at the forefront of some of the automotive industry’s most high profile innovations since the 1960s. Eddie Collins and his daughter Jackie want to radically transform automotive safety, "our equipment enables companies to modify their drivers’ behaviour through monitoring them through our live view systems, our company helps the road transport industry’s Construction Logistics and Community Safety (CLOCS) standards and Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) become a reality". What you can do to make construction traffic safer in your borough More building sites means more lorry movements and more potential danger for pedestrians and cyclists. As part of a joint project with TfL, LCC has written to the leader of every council that is not signed-up to the CLOCS body asking them to join. | Dates for the diary 9th January, 6th Feb...
