 | | | | | | | | | CLOCS signs 500th Champion
CLOCS reaches a significant milestone. We are delighted to welcome The  Crown Estate as our 500th CLOCS Champion.
Henrietta Frater, HSE and Wellbeing Manager shares her enthusiasm for becoming a CLOCS Champion, “The Crown Estate is a specialist real estate business, focused on commercial property in central London, prime regional retail and offshore wind. Our purpose is to create brilliant places through conscious commercialism and, for us, that means taking a long-term view and considering what we do from every perspective. Working closely with the communities in which we operate is central to this approach and supporting projects like CLOCS to help reduce road risk, is a great example of this.” What a great example for other clients to follow!

Refocus on…CLOCS guide
Managing driver training and licensing
This document addresses how to comply with Section 3.3 of the CLOCS Standard and is aimed at operators of vehicles delivering to, collecting from or servicing construction sites and their drivers. It is also designed to help driver training companies ensure training and development products meet the requirements of the CLOCS Standard. The guide includes:
1) Guidance around the requirements for drivers to:
- Complete approved progressive theoretical training including the safety of vulnerable road users.
- Undertake training in the use and limitations of supplementary vehicle safety equipment.
2) Guidance around the requirements for fleet operators to have a system in place to ensure all drivers hold and carry a valid licence for the category of vehicle they are tasked to drive and manage any risks associated with endorsements or restriction codes.
3) Advice for managers on developing driver continued professional development plan.
4) Advice for managers on accurate record keeping and demonstrating compliance.
FORS Collision Manager
Data is King. Increase your understanding of road risks, collision trends, produce KPIs, and share lessons learned with FORS Collision Manager (formerly CLOCS Manager)
FORS Collision Manager will assist you in implementing and adhering to requirement 3.1.2 - of the CLOCS Standard (Collision reporting), as well as requirement O3 - Incidents and Collisions - of the FORS Standard.

What is the T-Charge?
The T-Charge (Toxicity C harge) is part of a package of actions being taken by the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, to help clean up London’s dangerously polluted air, especially nitrogen dioxide and particulate matter. Both of these contribute to thousands of early deaths in London each year and impact our health over the course of our lives – leading to smaller lungs in our children, and greater risk of dementia and stroke when we get older.
The T-Charge is an additional £10 daily charge which will apply if you drive an older vehicle that doesn’t meet minimum exhaust emissions standards in the central London Congestion Charge zone, from 07:00 to 18:00, Monday to Friday. It will come into effect on 23rd October 2017.
How do I know if I have to pay? Vehicles entering the Congestion Charge zone that do not meet the minimum emissions standards will be subject to the charge. You can check if your vehicle meets the required standard with our vehicle compliance checker.
London Cycling Campaign, Lorry Safety Project
At an Exchanging Places event hosted by the City of London in September, the London Cycling Campaign (LCC) and HGV manufacturer Dennis Eagle launched a major new initiative to reduce the number of cyclists and pedestrians killed or seriously injured in collisions with lorries.
The new Lorry Safety Project, run by LCC with sponsorship from Dennis Eagle, provides advice and support to people on how to stay safe when cycling and walking near lorries.
Awake at the Wheel
Sleep: don’t leave home without it!
Research has shown that a massive 20% of road accidents are down to tiredness; either drivers falling asleep at the wheel or reaction times being slowed. The Awake at the Wheel infographic highlights the dangers that stem from driving when tired, how to spot the signs that you’re unsafe to drive and why often-tried methods of staying awake won’t help your driving if it’s sleep you really need.
Direct Vision Standard (DVS) - update
Transport for London (TfL) has released interim direct vision star ratings for Euro VI Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) as part of the development of its proposed Direct Vision Standard (DVS).

Commitment to giving back
CLOCS Champion Conquip partnered  with Revolve24 for the 2nd year running, raising awareness around cycle safety. Recognising the disproportionate amount of deaths of cyclists in urban areas, and realising it has to be a collaborative effort between both truck drivers and cyclists, they helped demonstrate the dangers of HGVs by carrying out an ‘exchanging places’ at the event with one of the Conquip fleet of trucks. Watch a summary of the event here.
