ARE YOU DVS | CLOCS COMPLIANT?

Would you like our team to offer a solution?

Overview

Over 5,500 vulnerable road users are killed or injured every year in collisions on Britain’s roads with vehicles commonplace in construction – that’s 20 people every working day.

 

The CLOCS Standard is a national industry standard. It defines the primary requirements placed upon the key stakeholders associated with a construction project and places responsibilities and duties on the regulator, the client, the principal contractor controlling the construction site and the supply chain including the operator of any road-going construction logistics vehicles servicing that project.

“Came across these guys on Facebook and admittedly I bypassed them several times before finally biting the bullet and making contact to discuss the dvs kit upgrades and availability (I’m not a big fan of facebook ads!) JH have been so easy to deal with including me being a pain and needing to change dates for operational reasons and now these guys are going out of their way to install a kit on a broken down truck away from our site to make sure we are up and running once repaired! We’re 2/3 of the way through our initial planned batch and they have gone without a hitch. Tidy work, great communication and a friendly install team. 100% recommend these guys for your installs”

Executive summary of CLOCS requirements

Regulators (particularly planning & highway authorities) shall>>

Embed the requirement to operate to the CLOCS Standard into policy and guidance documents
Ensure the planning process requires submission and approval of an outline and/or detailed Construction Logistics Plan (CLP) that addresses the main transport impact/risks in delivering the project safely before consent is granted
Require a project to have effective CLOCS implementation monitoring mechanisms and to provide to the authority (if requested) CLOCS compliance performance data
Have in place effective enforcement mechanisms to secure prompt action by the project team should a breach occur

Clients Shall >>

specify in tender and contract documents for all stakeholders to comply to the CLOCS Standard
ensure the project team develops and implements a suitable and sufficient CLP (Construction Logistics Plan)
ensure effective monitoring of compliance to the CLOCS Standard
obtain and monitor the contractor’s action plan to address all identified issues and non-compliances
obtain annual collisions and emissions performance information, and where appropriate, obtain a credible improvement plan

Principal Contractors Shall >>

ensure the project’s potential impact on the community has been properly risk-assessed
develop and/or implement the agreed CLP and ensure it remains suitable and sufficient
procure site and fleet operations that comply to the requirements of the CLOCS Standard
ensure site arrangements enable the safest fleet operations including, but not limited to, ‘last mile’ routing, level access/egress, stable loading/unloading areas, effective delivery management systems and competent site access traffic marshals
ensure effective and efficient site access gate checks of construction logistics vehicles and their drivers to ensure they always comply to the CLOCS Standard. Non-compliances must be immediately risk-assessed, appropriately mitigated and addressed through procurement processes
ensure effective independent monitoring of the project’s compliance with the CLOCS Standard is undertaken approximately every 6 months and appropriate action taken to address non-compliance
obtain annual collisions and emissions performance information, and where appropriate, obtain a credible improvement plan

Fleet Operators Shall >>

ensure they are part of a recognised independent fleet accreditation scheme or have a suitable management system in place that addresses the issues of management, vehicles, drivers and operations
in selecting their fleet accreditation, ensure all construction logistics vehicle operations meet the standards and requirements as described as Silver in the FORS Standard
provide acceptable evidence (as defined by each procurer) to demonstrate that requirements have been met

DVS is a standard that's helping improve road safety, we make that standard simple to adopt.
