TfL said the audits are now seen as compliant with one of its contractual requirements.
At an operator’s request, FTA can now supplement its Truck and Van Excellence audits with additional items covering TfL’s contractual work-related road risk (WRRR) clauses. Equivalency of Truck and Van Excellence with the addition of ‘Section 7 – TfL contractual clauses’ is for the purpose of compliance with TfL contractual WRRR clause and does not entitle the operator to FORS bronze accreditation.
James Hookham, FTA’s deputy chief executive, said: “We are pleased that we have been able to agree a basis with TfL for offering an alternative scheme equivalent to FORS Bronze accreditation. This will provide a new way for operators to achieve the fleet operator recognition standards set by TfL.”
