The latest champion to publish their plans is OnSite Support Ltd, key partner of Dragados on the £600m Bank Station Capacity Upgrade project – OnSite Support Ltd (as a fleet operator) plans to progress to FORS Gold, ensure supply chain compliance now and share collision data now; and (as a communicator) will use newsletters and website to get at least 20% of their customers and suppliers to adopt CLOCS.
