Adrian Walsh, Director of The Prince Michael Awards, said: “The work of CLOCS and the Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) – the 2014 Fleet Safety winner – complement each other to improve road safety. Where CLOCS provides clients with ready-made structures for recognisable safety standards, FORS provides fleet operators with the opportunity to both clearly demonstrate and improve their own safety performance.”

Ambitious targets

Leon Daniels, Managing Director of Surface Transport, TfL, said: “We have clear commitments and an ambitious target to reduce the number of people killed or seriously injured on London’s roads by 50% by 2020.

“Receiving international awards recognises the results of our efforts and is clearly a huge honour for our staff. This recognition shows we practice what we preach with our own road safety.”

Nick Brown, Managing Director, London Underground and London Rail at TfL, added: “It’s fantastic to see our innovative engagement with staff on such an important issue recognised in this way.”

Despite being less than three years olds, CLOCS membership has grown to more than 200 companies, delivering a safer vehicle design. This unique programme is the first approach to improving HGV safety and includes authorities, manufacturers, developers and operators .

The consistent standard makes it simpler for construction clients to use their buying power to ensure road risk is managed throughout supply chains across the country. There are now more than 30 major construction clients signed up to CLOCS.
