What is CLOCS?

CLOCS (Construction Logistics and Community Safety)

Helping You Improve Construction Vehicle Safety

Construction Logistics and Community Safety (CLOCS) is a nationally recognised initiative that aims to improve road safety by reducing collisions between construction vehicles and vulnerable road users, including pedestrians, cyclists and motorcyclists.

If your vehicles operate on construction sites or within urban environments, understanding CLOCS requirements can help you improve fleet safety, meet contractor expectations and demonstrate your commitment to best practice.

CLOCS is an industry-led programme that brings together fleet operators, construction companies, vehicle manufacturers and road safety experts to promote safer vehicle operations.

Its purpose is to reduce the number of collisions involving Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGVs) and vulnerable road users by encouraging higher safety standards, improved driver awareness and the use of modern vehicle safety technology.

Many principal contractors, developers and local authorities now require suppliers and subcontractors to meet CLOCS standards before vehicles are permitted on site.

Why is CLOCS Important?

Construction vehicles often operate in busy towns and cities where they share the road with cyclists, pedestrians and other road users. Large vehicles naturally have blind spots that can make it difficult for drivers to detect hazards when manoeuvring, turning or reversing.

CLOCS promotes practical measures to reduce these risks by encouraging:

Improved all-round visibility
Reduced blind spots
Better driver awareness
Safer vehicle manoeuvring
Enhanced protection for vulnerable road users
Higher fleet safety standards

By adopting these measures, businesses can help reduce accidents while demonstrating their commitment to responsible fleet management.

Vehicle Safety Equipment for CLOCS?

Modern vehicle safety technology plays a vital role in supporting CLOCS best practice.

At TNK Engineering, we supply a wide range of professional vehicle safety solutions, including:

Reversing Camera Systems
Side View Camera Systems
360° Bird's-Eye Camera Systems
AI Pedestrian & Cyclist Detection
Blind Spot Detection Systems
Radar Detection Systems
Side Scan Sensors
Mobile CCTV & Digital Recording Systems
Driver Monitoring Cameras
White Sound Reversing Alarms
Vehicle Monitors & Displays

These systems help drivers gain greater awareness of their surroundings while reducing the likelihood of collisions during low-speed manoeuvres.

CLOCS and Other Vehicle Safety Standards

Many operators working towards CLOCS compliance also need to consider other industry standards and legislation.

TNK Engineering can provide guidance on vehicle safety equipment that supports:

Direct Vision Standard (DVS)
Progressive Safe System (PSS)
Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS)
General Safety Regulation (GSR)
Blind Spot Information Systems (BSIS)
Moving Off Information Systems (MOIS)

Many of the technologies used for DVS and Progressive Safe System compliance also support the objectives of CLOCS by improving visibility and helping to protect vulnerable road users.
