FORS MEMBERSHIP

Following an extensive audit of our transport related practices, procedures and systems, Smiths has been accredited as Bronze members of FORS (Freight Operators Recognition Scheme) run by Transport for London. This forms part of the recently introduced CLOCS standard (Construction Logistics & Cycle Safety) also introduced by TFL in an attempt to improve vulnerable road user safety. Another important part of the standard is the fitment of extra safety systems to goods vehicles to help protect vulnerable road users which we had already started to implement in 2011. In addition to this, all drivers employed by Smiths have attended a training course specifically about operating vehicles safely amongst vulnerable road users.
