Mobile Cranes and Road Risk

Road-going mobile cranes are a common sight on roads and construction sites across the UK and like all heavy equipment, have the potential to cause great harm if not maintained and operated in a safe and efficient manner. When using mobile cranes, several important factors must be considered to help reduce risk. These include decisions made at the procurement stage,…

Delivery Management Systems

A Delivery Management System (DMS) plans, manages, and monitors vehicle movements to and from site, ensuring materials, equipment and resources arrive safely and efficiently. By controlling resource flow into site, a DMS optimises the safety of both the site workforce and vulnerable road users around the site. An effective DMS can help businesses improve the efficiency and outcomes of their…

HGV School Engagement Toolkit

CLOCS has developed a toolkit of materials and guides to help members educate children about the risks associated with Heavy Goods Vehicles and how to stay safe around them.

Samsara is an artificial intelligence driven transport management initiative. This optimises field services with real-time vehicle locations, prevent breakdowns by monitoring engine diagnostics and fault codes, and cut costs by reducing idle time. This initiative also allows users to plan and analyse routes and stops and evaluate data on their performance to identify deviations and pinpoint trends to remedy with…

Bluetooth Enabled Dash Cam in Excavators

On this project all excavators are now fitted with bluetooth enabled dash cams. This means that an individual is able to connect to the dash cam whilst its installed and download all the relevant information, without it having to be removed from the excavator. With normal dash cams the SD card has to be removed from the machine and then…

Safety Features on Vehicles

Drivers should be especially vigilant to ensure the movement of vehicles and plant on and around site is not a risk to pedestrians, cyclists, workers and other road users. Vehicles can also be adapted to minimise safety risks and encourage drivers, road users and pedestrians to be more aware of their surroundings. Examples of how vehicles could be adapted to…

Site Access Traffic Marshal Training

Site Access Traffic Marshals (SATMs) stationed at the site entrance are the primary and critical interface between the site, fleet operations and the public. They ensure only authorised vehicles and people enter the site, while also ensuring vehicles entering and leaving the site do so safely and efficiently. Competent SATMs are recognised by progressive contractors as essential members of the…

Construction Logistics Planning Training

A Construction Logistics Plan (CLP) provides the framework for understanding and managing construction vehicle activity into and out of a site. It includes a full assessment of all phases of construction and gives details on routing, traffic management and community considerations. Effective CLPs require all stakeholders in construction – Local Authorities, clients, contractors and operators – to work collaboratively. Better…
