What is CLOCS?
The Construction and Logistics Cyclist Safety Scheme (CLOCS) is a nationwide vehicle safety specifications targeted at constructions vehilces within the construction sector.
CLOCS and FORS are the main specifications for road going vehicles although there are a few exceptions including the Skanska vehicle safety specification and the High Speed Two (HS2) vehicle standards. Despite this, it can be a minefield for operators to work out exactly what is required.
Brigade offers expert advice and CLOCS approved equipment to help you to become compliant with all specifications.
CLOCS Guidance
Fleet operators shall ensure that all vehicles over 3.5 tonnes gross vehicle weight have front, side and rear blind spots eliminated or minimised as far as is practical / possible, through a combination of active and operational direct and indirect vision aids and driver audible alerts.
Audible warning devices should be fitted with a manual on/off switch or reset button for circumstances, such as working at night, where it may be appropriate for the device to be deactivated.
Fleet operators shall have in place a documented assessment that demonstrates measures taken to reduce noise pollution during driving and parking, which is relevant to the vehicle type, load and sector.
