01 Introduction
Looking out for vulnerable road users
Cyclists and other vulnerable road users are overrepresented in collisions with heavy goods vehicles (HGVs).
In recent years in London, over half of all cycle fatalities have involved an HGV. Many of these are construction vehicles
There has been a strong media interest in this issue.
A report into construction sector activities found a number of failings in the way the industry regarded work related road safety and identified a number of actions.
CLOCS aims to fundamentally change the way the construction industry manages work related road risk.

CLOCS Standard: a common industry standard
Looking out for vulnerable road users
The CLOCS Standard is a common national standard for managing work related road risk.
Developed by the construction industry, it combined number of inconsistent standards that emerged to tackle the issues of HGV and vulnerable road user collisions into a single standard
Implemented by clients through contracts to be adhered to in a consistent way by fleet operators.
Consistency brings a number of benefits
CLOCS Standard: a common industry standard
