FORS is helping their members to prepare for adverse weather with the FORS Winter driving guide and the FORS Tyre management guide for operators.

The FORS Winter driving guide includes tips to help drivers mitigate against adverse and changeable weather, with forward planning being the first step. The guide suggests drivers plan their routes, seek up-to-date travel information and complete additional safety checks prior to any journey, along with advice on suitable clothing and any additional equipment to carry.

Roadworthy tyres are important to maintain year-round and therefore ensuring tyres are up to safety standards is of the utmost importance, especially when road conditions are poor. The FORS Tyre management guide for operators offers advice on how to implement policies, as well as management systems and training, which will reduce tyre-related costs, reduce the impact on the environment while at the same time enhance safety.
