6 April, 2021 SHARE W.Howard Group has passed the audits to achieve once again Bronze and Silver accreditation under the Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS).
W.Howard’s warehousing facility at Glazebury, Cheshire, has achieved the Silver FORS standard, while the London Distribution Centre in Thurrock has achieved the Bronze standard.
FORS is a voluntary scheme for fleet operators who strive for best practice in safety, efficiency and environmental protection. The scheme is open to any business operating a vehicle on a public highway, such as heavy goods vehicles, vans, passenger-carrying vehicles, and cars.
To become FORS-accredited, a company must be able to document that it adheres to the very highest safety standards, carrying out comprehensive risk assessments, recording any incidents and carrying out extensive driver safety training programs.
