About the event

Every year, more than 5,500 vulnerable road users suffer injuries or fatalities in collisions on British roads involving vehicles commonly found in construction—equivalent to 20 individuals every working day. CLOCS, a national Standard, mandates that all construction stakeholders go beyond hoardings and assume responsibility for health and safety. It advocates collaborative efforts to prevent fatal or severe collisions between construction project vehicles and vulnerable road users, such as pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists.

This topic resonates deeply with APS members, evident in the 50-plus requests for this session. Join our webinar, where a representative from CLOCS will delve into logistics planning, with a specialised focus on Health and Safety.
