Truck and Track Spring 2026 www.truckandtrack.com 64 SAFETY & SECURITY Operating any commercial vehicle whether it be a small panel van through to a maximum weight articulated outfit or perhaps a piece of construction plant brings with it the need to adhere to safe working practices. Acquiring accreditation from organisations such as FORS (Fleet Operators Scheme) or CLOCS (Construction Logistics and Community Safety) is a positive first step in the right direction to achieving and maintaining the necessary industry standards, keep up to date with current legislation and ultimately achieve safe working practices. For the driver, operating in a busy urban environment or even operating within the confines of commercial premises, can be a constant headache looking out for other vehicles, cyclists and pedestrians all moving about in proximity. Visual aids or audible warning devices as those supplied by Vision UK are a welcome assistance. The solutions available from Vision UK can be tailored to suit individual specific applications such as truck/trailer combinations, yard vehicles and scaffolding vehicles. If your vehicles operate within the London area you will need to comply with the TfL (Transport for London) Direct Vision Standard which was last updated in October 2024. TfL’s recommendations give specific criteria for achieving the Progressive Safe System and MOIS (Moving Off Information Service). The most popular product offered in Vision UK’s range is the Progressive Safe System, suited to construction vehicles, which not only meets the requirements of the TfL Progressive Safe System but also the criteria for the FORS “Gold” VRUD (Vulnerable Road Users). This system provides 360 degrees of detection, featuring a robust 7” monitor and “High Definition” cameras which give superior levels of durability and clear images. As this system gives 360 degrees of detection it also meets the requirements of MOIS and Blind Spot Detection which are all elements of the Progressive Safe System. Upgrading FORS “Silver” PSS If you have an early system which at the time was compliant with the FORS “Silver” it can be upgraded to comply with the Vision UK- The Solution to staying safe and compliant
