In October 2014, a new requirement (V7) was included in the FORS Bronze standard in order to align with the Safer Lorry Scheme. FORS would like to remind operators that if fined for not complying with the SLS, you are also not complying with the requirements of your level of FORS accreditation.
FORS operators are expected to demonstrate evidence at audit that all applicable vehicles meet the ‘V7 – Vulnerable road user safety’ requirement. A spreadsheet outlining the information which needs to be provided to the auditor can be found below. The FORS auditor will check this information at audit and you should be able to supply evidence (eg photographs, receipts etc) to back up the information provided.
