What is FORS Silver accreditation?
The Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) Silver accreditation is a nationally recognised standard for logistics providers, ensuring high levels of safety, efficiency, and environmental responsibility. FORS Silver compliance means:

  • Vehicles meet CLOCS (Construction Logistics and Community Safety) and TfL’s Work-Related Road Risk (WRRR) requirements.
  • Drivers are fully trained in road safety, fuel efficiency, and urban driving best practices.
  • Operations comply with stringent environmental and safety regulations.

Why FORS Silver Matters
Construction sites, infrastructure projects, and urban developments mandate FORS Silver compliance to uphold strict safety and environmental standards. Non-compliant deliveries risk being refused entry, leading to costly delays and logistical issues. Ensuring compliance means:

  • Uninterrupted site access – Many regulated projects require FORS Silver accreditation for all deliveries.
  • Reduced emissions and fuel-efficient transport – Aligning with industry sustainability goals.
  • Enhanced safety protocols – Drivers trained in urban logistics and vulnerable road user awareness.

The FORS Silver Accreditation Process
Gaining FORS Silver accreditation is a rigorous process that demonstrates our commitment to best practices in fleet management, safety, and environmental impact reduction. Here’s what we have to achieve:

Fleet and Driver Compliance – Every vehicle in our fleet must meet strict safety and emissions regulations. This includes maintaining vehicle roadworthiness, ensuring compliance with low-emission zone requirements, and adopting the latest safety innovations to protect both our drivers and other road users.

Enhanced Vehicle Safety – We invest in advanced safety technology, including telematics for real-time tracking, blind spot cameras to improve driver visibility, and automatic emergency braking systems to prevent collisions. This helps mitigate risks, especially in busy urban environments.

Driver Training and Development – Our drivers undergo continuous professional development to improve their skills and awareness. Training covers essential areas such as:

  • Safe urban driving to protect cyclists and pedestrians
  • Fuel-efficient driving techniques to reduce emissions
  • Load securing to prevent transit damage and enhance safety
  • Emergency procedures and first aid to improve response times in critical situations

Environmental Responsibility – We actively monitor and reduce our carbon footprint by optimising delivery routes, using fuel-efficient vehicles, and transitioning towards cleaner transportation methods. Our fleet management system ensures minimal environmental impact while maintaining high efficiency.

Performance Monitoring – Compliance doesn’t stop at achieving accreditation—it’s an ongoing process. We track key performance indicators such as fuel consumption, driver behaviour, and vehicle maintenance schedules to ensure continuous improvement. Regular data analysis helps us refine our operations for even greater safety and efficiency.

Audits and Assessments – We undergo independent FORS audits to verify that our practices align with the latest industry standards. These assessments ensure that we remain compliant and continue to provide our customers with top-tier logistics solutions.

By meeting these rigorous requirements, we provide safe, reliable, and compliant transport solutions for businesses that demand the highest standards.
