FORS Accreditation in Merseyside

Q: Is FORS accreditation worth it?

For operators who tender for construction, local authority or major retail work, FORS is often a condition of the contract, so accreditation opens up work you could not otherwise bid for. It also gives you a structured check of your own compliance every year.

Q: Can sub-contracted hauliers affect our FORS Silver audit?

Yes. Silver includes a requirement on sub-contracted services, so you need to show how you check the operators you use.

Q: Do you guarantee a FORS pass?

We guarantee all of our own consultancy work. Records outside our control, such as maintenance records and walkaround checks, are your responsibility.

Hauliers and fleet operators around the Port of Liverpool and across Merseyside are often asked for FORS by construction, port and public-sector customers. FORS accreditation in Merseyside gives those buyers an independent check on how your fleet is run.

Our FORS consultants are qualified FORS Practitioners and transport managers. We can prepare your policies and procedures, run a pre-audit and attend the audit with you, or manage the whole accreditation as a project. Find out more about our FORS accreditation services.

How does FORS accreditation help your business in Merseyside?

Many construction and public-sector contracts ask for FORS before your vehicles can work on them. Accreditation shows clients that your maintenance, licensing, driver training and incident records meet an independently audited standard.

Container hauliers serving the port, and fleets working on regeneration projects in Liverpool, are among the Merseyside operators most often asked for FORS.

We work with operators in Liverpool, Birkenhead, St Helens, Knowsley and Bootle, with on-site visits or online consultations.

FORS accreditation for Merseyside operators

Port work brings tight delivery windows, which put pressure on drivers' hours and vehicle checks. These are two of the areas a FORS auditor examines closely, so we help you show that your process works on your busiest days as well as your quiet ones.

For fleets running into Liverpool city centre, FORS road risk training and vehicle safety equipment are particularly relevant, and they become more detailed at Silver.

We can provide a pre-audit before your main audit, so you know what the auditor will find before they arrive.
