Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS): What is it and why you need it?
The Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) is a national scheme that promotes good practice for commercial vehicle operators. The accreditation’s main objective is to raise quality and efficiency standards within fleets to the highest levels. FORS focuses on educating and improving best practice procedures in safety, efficiency, and environmental protection.
The result is that your company will manage work-related road risk (WRRR) better. FORS is open to operators of Cars, vans, lorries, mini-buses, coaches and other vehicles as well as to the organisations that award contracts to those operators. FORS accreditation makes strong business sense.
As well as demonstrating that your business meets high standards, you’ll be opening up new opportunities for growth because more and more companies now insist their suppliers and contractors must be FORS accredited in order to be considered for contracts. They want to promote best practice and FORS is your way of helping them to do that. In addition, using the toolkits, advice and guidance will help improve fuel efficiency and reduce emissions.
You can check the eligibility criteria for your Gold, Silver & Bronze accreditation by simply contacting one of our FORS practitioners on 01634 393236.
It’s not easy to maintain FORS accreditation. At Bronze level, you’ll be reviewing and conducting eyesight checks and driver licence checks at six monthly intervals, as well as reviewing policies and procedures annually. Silver and Gold levels require annual submission of the application as well as an onsite Bronze audit which is extended to every two years instead of every year. This is because the FORS standard is updated every two years and in order to remain compliant with gold and Silver, you’ll need to satisfy the requirements for Bronze. At FSL we provide an ongoing solution providing support every step of the way.
