What is the audit process?
The purpose of the Bronze audit is to make sure that the operators we accredit meet specific exacting standards. The audit process is about providing evidence of systems, procedures and documentation that demonstrate your company can meet the required standard of entry into FORS Bronze accreditation. To ensure that you are maintaining the FORS standard, on-site re-approval audits are conducted annually for Bronze and every two years for Silver and Gold. Those who are renewing their Gold and Silver accreditations will also have to provide evidence annually. For more information, click here.
The single Standard
FORS is aligned to a number of other schemes. At Bronze level operators will be ready to meet the requirements of the Safer Lorry Scheme. This mandates basic safety equipment (side under-run protection and safety mirrors) on all commercial vehicles over 3.5t. At Silver level operators will also meet the requirements of the Standard for Construction Logistics and Cycle Safety (CLOCS) and TfL’s own Work Related Road Risk requirements (WRRR).
