The Construction Logistics and Cyclist Safety (CLOCS) programme was launched by Transport for London (TfL) in 2013 to address the issues identified in the 2012 research report of the same name. In consultation with industry, the name has since been updated to Construction Logistics and Community Safety to account for the wider scope of the programme (see section 19). The report found that the over-representation of construction vehicles in fatal collisions with vulnerable road users could be attributed in part to a number of systemic industry failings. CLOCS was introduced to address these failings.
The industry-led nature of CLOCS has been key to its success. This isn’t necessarily measured simply by looking at the number of incidents on the roads, but also by the cultural shift in attitudes and practices across the construction industry.
CLOCS has a story to tell beyond a series of outputs and is an ongoing movement. This report aims to tell the story of CLOCS to date, highlighting the key achievements but also demonstrating how the programme has evolved and re-routed to facilitate change in the most effective way, overcoming obstacles and barriers and making the most of lessons learned (see figure ES.1).
CLOCS has inspired a whole new generation of projects and programmes. The report will touch on the future of CLOCS. These next steps will also look at ownership of the programme and the need to ensure CLOCS remains a positive force within the construction industry and beyond.
Executive Summary2012 - Summer 2016
A number of encompassing strands and themes run through the programme and are carried through this report:
• Research – CLOCS has built a strong catalogue of research as an evidence base to clearly outline the current situation but has also commissioned ground-breaking research to support development and implementation of future innovations
• Communications and engagement – gaining industry buy-in, commitment and encouraging collaboration is achieved through successful communication. Making the case for effective voluntary change with key stakeholders is critical
in an environment of slow-moving regulatory progress. CLOCS has made every effort to be open and transparent with industry and by establishing its own brand and communications strategy has become a recognisable and respected presence in the construction and logistics industries
• Lobbying and regulatory change – whilst the nature of regulatory change is slow-paced and often steeped in bureaucratic process, it is an essential requirement for long-term change. CLOCS has taken up the challenge and throughout the programme has lobbied the European Union to approve the changes necessary for safer vehicle design

Construction Logistics and Community Safety (CLOCS)Programme report
In 2011, there were 16 cyclist fatalities, nine of which involved an HGV. Of these nine, seven were construction vehicles. Until this point there was no real evidence to suggest what might cause the disproportionate involvement of the construction sector, there was also no collective movement from the industry to address the issues, and crucially there was no dedicated programme in place to facilitate this movement.
In response, in 2012, Transport for London (TfL) commissioned a review of the construction sector’s transport activities to better understand the causes of these collisions. Transport Research Laboratory (TRL) produced the resulting Construction Logistics and Cyclist Safety (CLOCS) report1 – forging the early stages of CLOCS.
The report, published in February 2013, identified a number of stark findings, including:
• A disproportionate number of vulnerable road user incidents with HGVs involve construction vehicles
• Work related road safety is not considered as important as on-site health and safety
• There is a lack of awareness and ownership of road risk in the construction industry
• The blind-spots on construction vehicles can be 50% greater than on other delivery vehicles
• Data on collisions and near misses on the road are not generally collected on construction projects
1. http://www.trl.co.uk/online_store/reports_publications/trl_reports/cat_road_user_safety/
report_construction_logistics_and_cyclist_safety_technical_report.htm
Based on these findings, the report made several recommendations. These recommendations were taken forward and packaged into three core streams of activity which have since formed the central nerves of the CLOCS programme. The scope, aims and objectives of the three workstreams are expanded on in Section 3.
The overarching objective of the CLOCS programme is to create a visionary change across the whole of the construction logistics industry. It aims to revolutionise the management of work related road risk within the construction sector to significantly reduce the risk posed to vulnerable road users (pedestrians, cyclists, motorcyclists, equestrians or person of reduced mobility).

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND
6 7
Construction Logistics and Community Safety (CLOCS)Programme report
In February 2013, Sir Peter Hendy CBE, then Commissioner for Transport for London, wrote to the Chief Executives of vehicle manufacturers (active in the Construction HGV UK market), key developers and construction clients, regulatory bodies such as the Health and Safety Executive and Department for Transport, and a selection of construction logistics operators. Sir Peter asked industry to review the findings of the initial CLOCS report and respond to a proposed action plan.
Contacting all those in a position to influence change across an industry, with independent research to support the case for action was a new approach. The action plan called for ideas, inspiration and commitment from industry at the earliest stages to ensure proposed interventions would be realistic and effective.
Responses were received from half of the vehicle manufacturers and a selection of fleet operators and construction clients and developers. Whilst positive, it was clear there was still a long way to go to achieve the visionary step-change across the industry.
INDUSTRY MOBILISATION

CLOCS was effectively starting from a blank page engaging with vehicle manufacturers and construction clients in understanding their positioning around vulnerable road user safety and vehicle design. It was important that initial contact be made at the right level to both demonstrate the importance of what CLOCS wanted to achieve and to test the waters to find out exactly where each organisation stood on the subject.
Following this initial correspondence, industry representatives were invited to attend the inaugural CLOCS event on 2 May 2013 at London’s City Hall. The event presented the findings of the research report and set out a clear course forward calling for representatives to cement their commitment by signing up to attend CLOCS working group meetings (see Section 3).
Industry had been approached and mobilised on the issue. It became clear that there was willingness to improve road safety across the sector and move forward.

Construction Logistics and Community Safety (CLOCS)Programme report
Following the first CLOCS progress event and call to action, three working groups were set up, each aligned to the three programme workstreams, encompassing the recommendations of the CLOCS research report:
A STRUCTURED APPROACH
Evolution of aims and objectivesHaving clear and ambitious objectives was key to the success of CLOCS, but the programme included a flexible approach to achieving them. From the outset CLOCS was approached with a degree of flexibility and an understanding that goalposts would, and should, inevitably shift to ensure a challenging and progressive approach was taken. The programme direction re-aligned at times to suit the changing markets, environment and audience with targets raised outputs and adapted in response to successes achieved above and beyond original expectations.
Workstream 1 Improving the safety of vehicles through design and manufacture of new vehicles and retrofitting equipment to existing vehicles
• To ensure increased availability and uptake of new lorries with all round vision, maximum driver direct vision and appropriate effective safety equipment as standard
• To ensure all existing lorries are (retro)fitted with appropriate effective safety equipment as standard
Workstream 2 Addressing the safety imbalance in the construction industry through ensuring road safety is considered as important as health and safety on site
• For work related road safety cultures within construction logistics operations to be considered equal to that of health and safety culture on construction sites. In the same way that on-site health and safety underwent a revolution in the 1980s to become of central importance, so too should on-road health and safety
Workstream 3 Encouraging adoption of best practice in the management of work related road risk across the construction logistics industry
• To develop a common set of requirements for the construction logistics sector that provides a consistent framework for managing, and enables transparency and ownership of, work related road risk (WRRR) for developers, their clients and construction logistics operations
Working groups The industry-led nature of CLOCS is at the heart of its success. Focussed working groups have been held since July 2013 on average every two months. Everything the project team does is accountable to the working group and presented for feedback and discussion. The early working groups, split up into the three workstreams, were attended by around 30 industry representatives. Today the meetings have merged into a single group and are attended by around 60 delegates with a structured timed agenda to enable participants to join for the most relevant sections.
3
Sub-groupsWhere the main CLOCS working group requested more detailed or specific pieces of work to be undertaken, smaller, more concentrated sub-groups have been formed on a volunteer basis to action delivery of the request. These smaller sub-groups facilitate more focussed and expert discussions and allow a greater level of detail to be tabled. Sub-groups have been held, for example, to advise the development of supplementary guidance documents (Section 6).

Construction Logistics and Community Safety (CLOCS)Programme report
Research carried out in October 2015 found that over
In August 2013, the CLOCS working groups identified eleven different standards for managing work related road risk (WRRR) all trying to achieve the same thing, but in slightly different ways. The vast majority of operators work for multiple clients. Having a range of differing standards made it difficult for the logistics industry to communicate, understand and adhere to the requirements in a consistent or effective way. It was also increasingly difficult, particularly for smaller operators, to make the case for investment in multiple requirements.
The first major output from CLOCS was the ‘CLOCS Standard for construction logistics: Managing work related road risk’, a common, consistent standard developed by the CLOCS working group, for use by the construction logistics industry. From initial working and sub-group discussions in August 2013 to print, production and launch in December 2013, the CLOCS Standard was developed in four months. Testament to the drive and commitment of the construction industry.
Implemented by planning authorities, major projects, developers and principle contractors and other clients through contracts, it includes 16 requirements for fleet operators and construction clients all aimed at reducing the risk of a collision between commercial vehicles and vulnerable, or other road users. It provides a framework that enables management of road risk in a way that can be adhered to in a consistent way by fleet operators.
With this deliverable complete so early on in the programme, the goals of workstream 3 shifted to focus on encouraging the implementation and uptake of the CLOCS Standard and gaining commitment from industry (through contracts and procurement as well as voluntarily).
DEVELOPING A COMMON NATIONAL STANDARD
As of September 2016, over 340 organisations, including over 40 major project and construction clients are committed to implementing this consistent standard across their supply chains. In 2015, over 800 construction sites were in scope of the CLOCS Standard, with over 1,000 further sites through application by the utilities sector and local authorities (see section 9 on CLOCS Champions).
of the logistics industry wanted a single common standardFreight in the City, 2015
4
Minimising the number of standardsThe CLOCS Standard has been developed to bring consistency to the construction industry where previously a myriad of standards and requirements existed. The aim is to minimise confusion and costs to the operator where additional requirements were being asked for on certain client sites but not others. CLOCS brings together an agreed set of requirements into one national common standard and the uptake has been very positive. The challenge of encouraging new or previously disengaged clients and large projects to simply adopt CLOCS and not to do their own thing remains.
CLOCS is always willing to engage with such organisations in order to review the requirements of the CLOCS Standard should it not be deemed suitable or stringent enough in any areas. The CLOCS Standard is designed to be progressive to account for advances in best practice and is reviewed every two years. Any suggested amendments are put to the working group for discussion and sign-off.

We believe that the publication of the new standard is a very positive step for the whole of the construction industry. We can make real progress if we all work together
We will be implementing the Standard as from tomorrow
I hope that the event on Monday in City Hall has shown to the wider audience that we as operators, clients and contractors are fully commited to the CLOCS Standard
We will certainly be working closely with our supply chain to see that the requirements are met and that the terrible incidents over the last few weeks are not repeated
A real eye opener for many, highlighting how seriously the industry is taking the issue
It is genuinely refreshing to see the commitment of all stakeholders to setting aside their own particular positions in support of a common principle

Construction Logistics and Community Safety (CLOCS)Programme report
January 2014 saw the need for a distinct identity for CLOCS as the programme began to expand its exposure beyond the initial group of construction industry representatives. With the launch of the CLOCS Standard in December 2013, a key priority of the programme became promotion, communication and public relations.
In January 2014, The Unknown Creative was awarded the contract to help develop the CLOCS brand and website. By the end of February 2014 www.clocs.org.uk was launched and a brand identified (after consultation and input from the CLOCS working groups. See figure 5.1). The key criteria in the brief was to create a crisp, clear and concise brand; represent the construction industry and all vulnerable road users; and to communicate the programme objectives consistently to its stakeholder audience
CLOCS champions (see section 9) are provided with all the branding elements, design files and guidelines for use when they sign the CLOCS Memorandum of Understanding. Champions are encouraged to use the branding on their construction sites and vehicles, under clear agreement that the site, vehicle and driver meet the requirements of the CLOCS Standard (see figures 5.2 and 5.3).
AN IDENTITY FOR CLOCS
The CLOCS brand and its independence from the Transport for London logo has aided expansion of the programme nationally and in meeting the objective of the scheme to become owned by industry. An independent CLOCS identity, separate to the TfL brand, demonstrates the importance of, and facilitates, collective ownership across industry. Overcoming the London-centric image has been critical in encouraging sign-up outside of the Capital. Largescale infrastructure projects outside of London and nationally based construction clients and developers have also helped spread the word by requiring CLOCS compliance across all operations.

Figure 5.2 CLOCS branding at construction sites promotes and communicates the programme to the wider community
CLOCS enquiriesAs part of CLOCS’ commitment to openly communicate and engage with industry, an email helpline was also set up in February 2014 to deal with any enquiries or expressions of interest. [email protected] provides a direct link to the project team with all emails being responded to within 48 hours.
Some of the most frequently asked questions can be seen below:
• I would like to know more about CLOCS
• How do I sign up to CLOCS?
• What is the difference between CLOCS and FORS?
• I am FORS accredited, does that mean I am also CLOCS compliant?
• How much does it cost to sign up to CLOCS?
• I am a training provider, how do I get my course CLOCS approved?
• How can I undertake CLOCS approved training?
• I am a technology provider, how can I work with CLOCS?
• We are hosting a road safety event and would like CLOCS to be involved
• Can I use the CLOCS logo for my website/vehicle/promotional items?
• Can I find a list of CLOCS compliant companies?

After the launch of the CLOCS Standard in December 2013, it was agreed that a range of supporting documents would be produced in order to offer more detailed advice on the implementation of specific areas of the CLOCS Standard (see figure 6.1). The following documents have since been developed and launched:
• CLOCS Guide – Managing driver training and licensing (July 2014) Providing guidance on training and development and assisting operators in updating existing training in line with the requirements of the CLOCS Standard
• CLOCS Guide – Managing supplier compliance (July 2014) Providing guidance to help clients ensure their suppliers comply with the requirements of the CLOCS Standard
• CLOCS Guide – Managing work related road risk in contracts (July 2014) Designed to help procurement and contract managers to play an effective role in managing work related road risk
• CLOCS Toolkit – Managing collision reporting and investigation (July 2014) Providing guidance on what to do following a collision from actions the driver should take at the scene through to investigating a collision and acting on lessons learned
SUPPORTING ROLL-OUT OF THE CLOCS STANDARD
• CLOCS compliance toolkit – (February 2015)Providing guidance for clients on how to check compliance of their contractors to the CLOCS Standard. A number of forms and communication materials are provided
• CLOCS Guide – Vehicle safety equipment (February 2015) Designed to help operators meet the vehicle safety equipment requirements of the CLOCS Standard and assist clients in checking contractor vehicle compliance
• CLOCS Guide – Improving road safety using the planning process (March 2016) Designed to help local authorities to understand how they can include CLOCS in the planning process to help mitigate the effects of work related road risk
Each supplementary guidance document was developed in consultation with key individual organisations and sub working groups formed of volunteers knowledgeable in, and impacted by, the key areas of focus.

Construction Logistics and Community Safety (CLOCS)Programme report
Alignment to other schemesThe CLOCS brand is now well known and established amongst both the construction and the logistics industries. There are a number of schemes that aim to revolutionise the management of work related road safety and promote a positive road safety culture. It is important that these schemes work together to minimise variation in requirements and maintain a level of consistency across the industry.
The Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) is a national accreditation scheme designed to help road fleet operators in all sectors improve, measure and monitor operational performance and safety and demonstrate compliance and best practice.The schemes have been aligned and an operator meeting FORS Silver level will be meeting the operator requirements within the CLOCS Standard (see figure 6.2).
Construction clients implement CLOCS through planning conditions and procurement contracts and operators can demonstrate their compliance to CLOCS through FORS.
The Safer Lorry Scheme aims to ensure vehicles on London’s roads are lawful and following best practice. Any CLOCS compliant operator entering London will be above and beyond the requirements of the Safer Lorry Scheme. Additionally, operators working on contracts for TfL will find that their Work Related Road Risk (WRRR) requirements are the same as those within the CLOCS Standard
CLOCS will continue to encourage and promote consistency across the industry through update of a common national standard.

Construction Logistics and Community Safety (CLOCS)Programme report
In January 2014, a delegation of campaigners, organisations and politicians including Transport for London, CLOCS, RoadPeace, See Me Save Me, Chris Boardman (British Cycling) and London’s Cycling Commissioner at the time, Andrew Gilligan, travelled to Brussels in order to lobby for amendments to be made to the Weights and Dimensions Directive (EU/2015/719) to facilitate compulsory improvements to driver direct vision in HGVs2.
On Tuesday 18 March 2014, the Transport Committee of the European Parliament voted to allow slightly longer HGVs in order to:
• Redesign the cab to reduce blind spots and improve the direct vision of the driver
• Fit an energy absorbing crash management system at the front of the cab
• Have a rounded front to divert vulnerable road users to the side of the vehicle in case of collision
REGULATORY CHANGE IN EUROPE
The vote then went to the European Parliament plenary in April 2014 with an almost unanimous vote to change the rules for HGV cab design (606 votes in favour and 54 against the draft law). Threats to delay the introduction of the Weights and Dimensions amendments until after 2025 followed under pressure from some vehicle manufacturers claiming it could affect competition due to the long life cycle of trucks. In response, CLOCS sent a joint letter opposing the delays to DG-MOVE and DG-GROW. The Campaign for Better Transport3 in collaboration with CLOCS also sent a letter to Robert Goodwill MP lobbying against the proposed delays.

EC 96/53 Weights and Dimension DirectiveThis directive sets maximum dimensions and weights for heavy goods vehicles, buses and coaches requiring compliance with certain rules for road safety reasons and to avoid damaging roads, bridges and tunnels. It also ensures that Member States cannot restrict the circulation of vehicles which comply with these limits from performing international transport operations within their territories. It also aims to ensure that national operators don’t benefit from undue advantages over their competitors from other Member States when performing national transport.
DG-GROW European Commission Directorate General (DG) for Internal Market, Industry, Entrepreneurship and SMEs promotes the EU’s strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth. It is working to strengthen Europe’s industrial base and promote the transition to a low carbon economy and to promote innovation as a means to generate new sources of growth and meet societal needs.
DG-MOVEThe Directorate-General for Mobility and Transport is responsible for developing and implementing European policies in transport. Its mission is to ensure that transport policies are designed for the benefit of all sectors of the society. DG MOVE carries out these tasks using legislative proposals and programme management.

In December 2014 Member States and MEPs agreed a compromise allowing manufacturers to exceed the current maximum vehicle lengths as long as they redesign the cab to comply with new environmental and safety standards (subject to new standards being developed and agreed through the General Safety Regulation. See figure 7.1). Consultation on changes to the General Safety Regulation (DG-GROW) commence in 2016. In light of the amount of new evidence and research for consideration, there is likely to be a delay in decision to ensure the most appropriate evidence is evaluated in the process. This work marks a step change in the way vehicle design and manufacture is considered with regard to safety as well as aerodynamics and fuel economy.
CLOCS has also been cited as an example of a successful Work Related Road Risk (WRRR) initiative within European guidance on procurement4. The PRAISE (Preventing Road Accidents and Injuries for the Safety of Employees) project is coordinated by the European Transport Safety Council (ETSC) and looks to address the safety aspects of driving at and to work. It aims to promote best practice and its recognition of CLOCS and Transport for London’s wider WRRR achievements is testament to the rising awareness of on-road safety.

Construction Logistics and Community Safety (CLOCS)Programme report
In July 2013 a partnership of fleet operators formed a delegation with the view to meeting with the key marketing and design contacts at the vehicle manufacturers. Whilst a number of manufacturers were willing to engage from an early stage, it became apparent that without a market demand for change, the case for redesigning and modifying vehicles was not strong enough to prompt action. The collective purchasing power of the CLOCS operator delegation provided a driver for change. Equally, engagement with the vehicle manufacturers showed operators exactly what was available to them ‘behind the scenes’.
An initial meeting between the operator delegation and vehicle manufacturers took place on 24 September 2013 at the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT). It soon became clear that this format would not be productive due to strict competition rules and a reluctance to share details with competitors in the room.

operator delegation secured individual meetings with Mercedes Benz, DAF, Dennis Eagle, MAN, Scania, Volvo, Renault and Iveco (see Table 8.1). These meetings proved crucial in establishing manufacturer positioning, the capabilities and products already available and their willingness to commit to bold new designs. It helped identify barriers to change, such as limited payloads, and how they could be overcome. Having potential customers in these meetings demonstrated an industry demand for new vehicle designs and not just an academic call for action. The collective buying power of the partnership proved powerful and persuasive.
On 9 April 2014, Sir Peter Hendy wrote a follow-up letter with a call to action asking the manufacturers to work with TfL to design and develop a vehicle fit for the 21st Century suitable for use in urban construction (see Appendix C).

Construction Logistics and Community Safety (CLOCS)Programme report
Having developed and launched the CLOCS Standard, a mechanism for encouraging commitment and sign up to the CLOCS Standard was needed. The status of ‘CLOCS Champion’ was formed as a means of identifying those organisations and/or individual construction projects committing to implement the requirements within the CLOCS Standard. CLOCS Champions may include:
• Client organisations intending to and working towards implementation of the CLOCS Standard (indicative dates for implementation should be provided)
• Client organisations or projects actively implementing and monitoring compliance to the CLOCS Standard. Where the client organisation is a partnership or membership organisation it shall also promote further uptake of the scheme amongst its members
• Fleet operators adhering to the requirements of the CLOCS Standard
• Organisations which by the nature of their business or purpose may not be able to actively implement, but which have committed to supporting the CLOCS Standard and its purpose
The requirements, roles and responsibilities of CLOCS Champions, the programme sponsor (TfL) and the CLOCS secretariat are set out in the Terms of Reference. These terms are reviewed on an annual basis (or sooner if changes to the programme call for it).
Commitment is demonstrated through signing the CLOCS Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). The MOU is an understanding between the programme sponsor and organisations implementing, or intending to implement, the CLOCS Standard. Organisations are asked to provide a dedicated point of contact to ensure progress updates can be requested by the sponsor or secretariat as required.
FORMALISING COMMITMENT CLOCS CHAMPIONS
The CLOCS Terms of Reference and Memorandum of Understanding can be found on the CLOCS website at http://www.clocs.org.uk/links-to-partners/
Commissioner’s breakfast briefingHaving the personal backing of London’s Transport Commissioner has played a large role in influencing and persuading key developers, clients and infrastructure projects in signing up to CLOCS and implementing the requirements down their supply chains. Sir Peter Hendy hosted a breakfast briefing meeting with Chief Executive and senior level representatives from across the construction industry on 18 June 2014.
This meeting aimed to emphasise the importance of the role of clients in improving road safety throughout their supply chains, thank those that had already made an active contribution to CLOCS and to further encourage the uptake of the Standard with an ask to sign the Memorandum of Understanding.

The influence of the Commissioner proved crucial in raising awareness at a senior level and has helped build relationships with some of the largest infrastructure projects and developers across the UK.
As of September 2016, there are 342 CLOCS Champions. These can be broken down as follows:
• Clients (an organisation employing fleet operator contractors. This may be a developer employing a primary contractor or a primary contractor employing a sub-contractor) – 43
• Operators (any organisation or part thereof which operates one or more vehicle(s) – 288
• Communicators (Organisations which by the nature of their business or purpose may not be able to actively implement the CLOCS standard, but which have committed to supporting the WRRR Standard and its purpose) – 11
The full list of CLOCS Champions can be found on the CLOCS website at http://www.clocs.org.uk/links-to-partners/clocs-champions-list/
Whilst every organisation signing up as a CLOCS Champion is a welcome addition, focus on encouraging and gaining sign-up is largely on client organisations. One client organisation committing to implement CLOCS down its supply chain requiring all its contractors, sub-contractors and operators working on sites to be CLOCS compliant, will naturally generate a large number of CLOCS compliant organisations.

FORMALISING THE MANUFACTURER CHALLENGE
With vehicle manufacturers engaged in the partnership and following technical advice from the operator delegation, TfL formally laid down the challenge to vehicle manufacturers by publishing a Prior Information Notice (PIN) in October 2014 on the OJEU.
The legislative solution to minimising blind spots has historically been to increase the driver’s field of view by the addition of mirrors. TfL, the Department for Transport (DfT) and HGV operators have all commissioned research to better understand blind spots, driver’s field of vision and the impact of mirrors and other vision aids in improving visibility. The results suggest that even with the correctly adjusted mirrors required by regulation in place, the level of visibility can be poor. Blind spots still exist alongside vehicles large enough to hide vulnerable road users including cyclists and pedestrians.
The PIN called for vehicle manufacturers to commit to producing new specification vehicles and/or vehicle modifications that increased driver direct vision. A financial match-funding contribution was offered by TfL as incentive. The CLOCS operator delegation also offered an incentive of matchmaking new specified vehicles with London fleet operators to ensure the vehicles would be operationally trialled and evaluated (see figure 10.1). Responses to the PIN came from Mercedes, DAF, Dennis Eagle, Scania and Volvo.

Ensuring that the work of CLOCS is truly meaningful with each deliverable able to stand up to scrutiny has been crucial. A number of research projects have been commissioned by Transport for London and completed in parallel to CLOCS to provide an independent and robust evidence base to support behavioural change:
Blind-spot technology and driver cognitive overload – SPA Future Thinking
Looking at the advantages and potential drawbacks of vehicle safety equipment to inform strategy on increasing vehicle safety
Evaluation of HGV safety technology – Transport Research Laboratory (TRL)
Aiming to provide a means for evaluating all types of safety product which are available now or in the future and provide an independent assessment of their strengths and weaknesses
Understanding direct and indirect driver vision in Heavy Goods Vehicles – Loughborough Design School
To gain an understanding of the variability of blind spots in direct vision through windows and indirect vision through mirrors for the top selling HGVs in the UK
Understanding off-road capable HGVs – AECOM
To understand the uptake of off-road vehicle specifications and purchasing behaviour and how this matches actual operating conditions and to identify a classification of ground conditions at construction sites
Producing a Test House Protocol for HGV VRU Safety Devices – Thatcham and Horiba MIRA
To establish an independent test procedure for HGV blind-spot safety devices and secure input and endorsement from a range of test houses in order that they can offer the test procedure as a service to HGV technology suppliers
Definition of direct vision standards for HGVs – Transport Research Laboratory (TRL)
To define objectively measurable and legally defensible vision standards for HGVs according to a direct field of view of the area of greatest risk
Road safety benefits of eye contact between vulnerable road users and drivers - Arup
To provide robust evidence to support the theory that recommends drivers and cyclists make eye contact and to encourage vehicle manufacturers to invest in direct vision safety solutions and inform upcoming changes to vehicle safety regulations
Cost-benefit analysis for mandating HGV direct vision requirements – Arup
To assess the cost-benefit analysis of mandating direct vision requirements for HGVs by objectively calculating the costs and benefits associated with re-designing HGV cabs to meet possible mandatory direct vision standards
High Vision HGV fleet evaluation – SPA Future Thinking
To evaluate new HGVs in operation across London, comparing new, safer vehicles with existing ones that drivers and operators are familiar with
Road safety standards for construction and waste sites – AECOM
To provide the standards and framework to improve construction and waste site ground conditions reducing the need for off-road N3G vehicles

Construction Logistics and Community Safety (CLOCS)Programme report
Extending the established RIDDOR reporting system for on-site health and safety to on-road work related road safety was the ideal deliverable for CLOCS workstream 2. It became apparent relatively quickly through initial engagement with the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) that this would not be a feasible option at this stage of the programme. Whilst the HSE were in support of CLOCS in principle, a legislative change would be a lengthy process and require a supporting evidence base that may be more appropriate further along the line. With this in mind, emphasis was placed on creating a stand-alone, voluntary reporting and evidence system.
Where regulatory change may not always be possible, CLOCS has aimed to achieve the same goal by creating the tools, mechanisms and support to allow industry to take direct ownership of the issue. This led to the development of the CLOCS Manager incident and collision reporting system.
September 2014 saw the launch of ‘CLOCS Manager’, a new web-based collision reporting tool available free of charge to fleet operators and construction clients (see figure 11.1). The tool was developed in close collaboration with the CLOCS working group (see Section 3) and external organisations such as the insurance industry, regulators, road safety organisations and other service providers.
CLOCS Manager standardises collision reporting and enables data to be collated from across the UK so trends can be analysed, incident hotspots can be identified and lessons learned can be shared amongst fleet operators and construction clients.
The system enables individual companies to store their own encrypted road safety data securely, and will also enable them to see anonymised data from other companies too. This will help companies to see where they stand in relation to others and learn lessons from others’ experience and further reduce work related road risk.
CLOCS MANAGER – TRANSPARENCY IN REPORTING
While the software is designed to help companies log collisions in accordance with the CLOCS Standard, it is open and free to use by all construction clients and fleet operators, regardless of whether they are CLOCS Champions or not.
Appendix A shows the timeline of activity in terms of IT development, engagement and communications from the early spreadsheet based tool through to the launch of version 1.5 of the online tool.
11
As of September 2016 there are over 380 companies signed up to CLOCS Manager and over 1100 incidents logged. These are of varying completeness but it is encouraging to see the consistent level of uptake. Further work is being scoped to help encourage users to enter more data at a more detailed level. This includes a video introduction for new users, an interactive ‘guided tour’ of the system and a series of short video tutorials with accompanying text references.

By building a voluntary, industry-led and free of charge system, CLOCS has created a default solution for those organisations willing to take ownership of work related road safety and those that are required to do so via procurement or contractual measures. The voluntary nature of CLOCS Manger means that encouraging further uptake and consistent and regular usage is the ongoing challenge. The development of training and promotional videos and materials is designed to help achieve this.
Industry Engagement
Engagement has been central to workstream 2. Addressing the safety imbalance between on-site and on-road health and safety is largely an awareness exercise but there has also been a large element of investigation and information gathering required in order to find out a) what areas of good practice already exist in the construction and logistics sectors but aren’t well known or publicised and b) what areas of good practice, systems and processes exist in other sectors or for on-site health and safety within the construction sector.
Organisations that have contributed to workstream 2 through various means of engagement include fleet operators, clients, local authorities, insurance companies, regulators, road safety organisations and a selection of other groups and organisations.

Construction Logistics and Community Safety (CLOCS)Programme report
Discussions in some of the early working group meetings revealed that there was lack of awareness when incidents and collisions occurred and a general lack of information on the subject of work related road safety. In particular this was highlighted in comparison to the relatively common and frequent communications around on-site health and safety eg via the Health and Safety Executive (HSE).
CLOCS AlertsWhilst CLOCS is a UK-wide initiative and aims to fulfil all objectives on a national scale, its facilitation by Transport for London means that access to incident details are somewhat limited to London. Making use of these London incident alerts, CLOCS created a template design and process to further distribute details of serious or fatal incidents to anyone signed up to the distribution list (as of September 2016, 970 individuals were signed up to the distribution list). Alerts will usually be sent out within eight hours of an incident occurring. Incidents outside of London are picked up and reported in the monthly bulletin.
INCIDENT ALERTS AND THE CLOCS BULLETIN
Figure 12.1 Sample CLOCS alert

CLOCS BulletinOnce a month, the most relevant industry stories are compiled together with the month’s UK-wide incidents, media pick-up, events and CLOCS project news. The aim of the CLOCS bulletin is to ensure programme stakeholders and interested parties are kept informed of work related road safety issues to fill the void of information identified in the early stages of the project. CLOCS Champions (see Section 9) and subscribers are encouraged to submit their own articles, experiences and good news stories. The bulletin seeks to address the imbalance between on-site and on-road health and safety by raising the profile of WRRR and delivering the issues direct to the inboxes of those it impacts.
An example of a CLOCS alert and CLOCS bulletin can be found in figures 12.1 and 12.2.

The first step after launching the CLOCS Standard was to get CLOCS established and recognised as an industry norm, as the ‘go-to’ Standard. The process of becoming a CLOCS Champion was intentionally not too onerous, the challenge now is ensuring that the Standard and the term ‘CLOCS Champion’ have value and meaning by ensuring they are adhered to honestly and implemented (and monitored) consistently.
CLOCS compliance toolkitIn February 2015, CLOCS launched the ‘CLOCS compliance toolkit’ to assist construction clients, developers and principal contractors in effectively monitoring CLOCS compliance in their supply chain. The toolkit is made up of a number of template and example forms as well as branded posters and leaflets:
• CLOCS A1 compliance poster
• Compliance check form and non-compliance report
• Compliance checking & monitoring process diagram
• Example contractual clauses
• Supplier self-certification form
• CLOCS compliance leaflet
• CLOCS supplier presentation template
• Compliance checking & monitoring process
• Driver non-conformance notification
• Example letter to suppliers
Support is also provided in the CLOCS Guide – Managing supplier compliance and the CLOCS Guide – Managing work related road risk in contracts. Whilst responsibility for compliance checking sits with the construction client, CLOCS aims to make this process as achievable as possible by providing default solutions and demonstrating varying progressive degrees of compliance checking eg desk-based checks, on-site vehicle and driver checks or a risk based approach.

SAFER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD
Back in early 2013, the original objective to produce a single prototype demonstration vehicle seemed in itself a challenge. Vehicle manufacturers were engaged but reluctant and operators were yet to be convinced of the benefit. However, due to the successful engagement strategy with vehicle manufacturers, the collective buying power of the operator delegation and in part due to the competitive nature of the manufacturing industry, 15 high vision vehicles with increased direct vision were on display at the CLOCS progress event on 26 February 2015.
With a number of the higher vision vehicles now available for purchase and hire, a demonstrator programme was set up with operators matched with vehicle manufacturers to trial the new vehicles in real-life on the road scenarios. To further support this demonstrator programme, Future Thinking were commissioned to carry out market research to assess and summarise the experiences of the organisations trialling the vehicles, at both driver and manager level.

Construction Logistics and Community Safety (CLOCS)Programme report
Under UKAS (United Kingdom Accreditation Service) rules, standards must be reviewed every two years. In keeping with these rules the CLOCS Standard was reviewed by the CLOCS working group and refreshed in December 2015. No material changes were made to the Standard, meaning none of the mandatory ‘shall’ requirements were changed. Some of the optional ‘should’ and ‘may’ requirements were tightened up and clarified to minimise areas of uncertainty.
Where advances have been made since the initial launch of the CLOCS Standard in December 2013, additions have been included. For example, reference to high vision cabs and the relevance of N3 over N3G vehicles has been included. Signposts have been updated to acknowledge the broader field of research and publications since the start of the programme. Finally, a number of new case studies have been added and existing case studies updated, reflecting the increased uptake and implementation of the CLOCS Standard itself. A summary of the key changes can be found in table 15.1.

Construction Logistics and Community Safety (CLOCS)Programme report
Following in the footsteps of Sir Peter Hendy, the new Transport Commissioner for London, Mike Brown MVO, hosted the second CLOCS breakfast briefing on 18 December 2015. This was the first opportunity for the new Commissioner to offer his personal commitment to the programme and continue to demonstrate the same leadership as the previous Commissioner. The main messages of this briefing were to demonstrate the ongoing commitment to CLOCS and belief in the CLOCS Standard as a consistent quality, to say thank you to those that have already pledged their commitment as CLOCS Champions, to emphasise the importance of buying power to influence supply chains, and to seek formal commitment from representative organisations such as Build UK, Considerate Constructors Scheme, Constructing Excellence and the Construction Industry Cycling Commission.

CLOCS ON THE SPEAKER CIRCUIT – EXTERNAL EVENTS AND CONFERENCES
CLOCS in the North – Tip-Ex Reaching audiences outside of London has been critical in spreading the word and raising awareness right across the country. In 2015 and 2016, CLOCS hosted a conference as part of the annual Tip-Ex event in Harrogate, Yorkshire. With over 80 attendees at both conferences, Tip-Ex provides a real opportunity to make the case for change outside of London and the South East.
CLOCS at the London Bike Show In 2015 and again in 2016, the CLOCS team, along with a host of CLOCS Champion volunteers and the Metropolitan Police attended the London Bike Show to demonstrate to the general public, and in particular the cycling community, what industry is doing to improve the safety of vulnerable road users. In 2016, over 1,000 people went through the Exchanging Places experience both by sitting directly in an HGV cab or by means of virtual reality. It was an excellent opportunity to engage with the cycling community in a positive and enjoyable atmosphere.

INTERNATIONAL RECOGNITION
Prince Michael International Road Safety AwardIn December 2015, CLOCS was awarded the Prince Michael International Road Safety Premier Award at a ceremony held at the Savoy Hotel in London. The prestigious award was presented by Prince Michael of Kent himself with special mention to the collaboration between public and private sector and successful cooperation.
The award meant a great deal to the project team and to those industry individuals involved as it represented a huge achievement for the programme and really demonstrated that the hard work of all involved is making a difference and being recognised (see figure 17.1).
Fig 17.1 HRH Prince Michael of Kent presents the project team with his Premier International Road Safety Award
“The private sector can make a huge contribution, especially when working closely with public authorities.
In our cities, especially in London we face a continuing challenge to keep our pedestrians and cyclists safe. So it is with great delight that this year my Premier Award goes to the team behind the CLOCS programme – a fine example of successful cooperation.”HRH Prince Michael of Kent

Construction Logistics and Community Safety (CLOCS)Programme report
In 2014, CLOCS enlisted the help of PR and communications company Torque (formerly Automotive PR) to help promote CLOCS and communicate its core messages to a wider audience. Over the course of a year, Torque were responsible for ensuring the right publications and individuals were compiled into a robust CLOCS media list and ensuring that the correct messages were communicated to these contacts in the most effective and efficient means. This ranged from sending out press releases to providing exclusive interviews and embedding published supplements into trade publications.
Media pick-upAppendix B shows the media pick-up of CLOCS month on month from June 2014 to June 2016. It is clear that overall volume has increased as awareness of the programme has increased. Other influencing factors can
PRESS AND MEDIA
be identified where peaks in the media pick-up occur eg February and March 2015 saw a steep rise in the number of articles mentioning CLOCS which can be attributed to the CLOCS progress event held in February 2015. Since summer 2015 the number of articles referencing both CLOCS and a proposed lorry ban have increased demonstrating that CLOCS is recognised as a means of reducing the number of serious and fatal incidents on our roads – it is discussed alongside proposals of lorry bans, changes to infrastructure, political campaigns and increases in construction activity.
Figure 18.1 shows the levels of media pick-up since monitoring began in June 2014. It also details key industry and programme milestones to demonstrate potential correlation.

Construction Logistics and Community Safety (CLOCS)Programme report
THE INDUSTRY VIEW - HOW IS CLOCS DOING?
In 2014, Transport for London commissioned an independent piece of market research in order to understand industry’s views on work related road risk and CLOCS. In 2016, the research was repeated with a different group of contacts to see if and how things had changed. The research was qualitative and quantitative in nature, involved around 200 individuals from across the country and focussed on the following key themes:
In 2014…• Industry is motivated by ‘the right
thing to do’
• The main barriers to change are cost, time, effort, complexity, bureaucracy
• The impact of CLOCS is too early to tell, need to focus on hearts and minds not data and statistics
• Hopes for the future include a universal national application of CLOCS, across sectors with strong enforcement
In 2016…• CLOCS is respected and established in
the construction industry
• Considered limited in scope to the construction sector and still London centric
• The main perceived barriers are a lack of perceived need, ignorance to off-site responsibilities, bureaucracy, lack of awareness and irresponsibility
• CLOCS is having a big impact – on an emotional level
• Safety is now top of many agendas
• There is a need to move out of the comfort zone, to change and evolve with the times
• Health & Safety and excessive regulation are key issues facing the construction industry

Construction Logistics and Community Safety (CLOCS)Programme report
The structured workstream approach of CLOCS has achieved significant success. Moving forward, workstreams 1 and 2 will form two major new programmes of work run by TfL (‘Safer Trucks’ and ‘Addressing the safety imbalance’) as the activity in these areas grows beyond the boundaries of CLOCS. Workstream 3 will continue to be packaged as CLOCS under the ‘CLOCS secretariat and administration’ programme, run by industry.
Right from the start, the ambition of CLOCS was for industry to take full ownership of the programme. Where TfL has led and facilitated the programme in its infancy, the desire is for an industry representative body or similar such organisation to take control and administer the ongoing body of work.
This CLOCS secretariat and administration programme has been tendered for in 2016 and awarded to an external collaboration of organisations. TfL will still be the ultimate client and ensure the programme stays firmly focussed and on track. The transition from TfL to the successful bidder, a collaboration between SECBE (South East Centre for the Built environment), Build UK, Considerate Constructor’s Scheme , Construction Clients Group and LHC, will represent the successful achievement of an early programme objective – to create a wholly industry-led initiative.
The coming together of these organisations in a single bid shows a truly collaborative and non-contentious approach on behalf of an industry that are prepared to tackle the issue. The collaboration is seen as a positive step forward in terms of the construction industry taking ownership, gaining national buy-in and keeping the momentum of the programme going.
The outputs of the ‘Safer Trucks’ and ‘Addressing the Safety Imbalance’ programmes will be complementary to the success of the ‘CLOCS Secretariat and administration’ programme. TfL will enable interaction between the three programmes.
CLOCS FUTURE
19
In addition to the secretariat and administration function of CLOCS, an opportunity has been given to representative bodies, trade associations, charities, communication organisations and campaign groups to apply for funding to embed, promote and expand CLOCS in their existing ‘business as usual’ functions to help ensure the construction industry takes ownership of work related road risk. This opportunity will be launched in 2016.
The right name for CLOCSCLOCS has always focused on all vulnerable road users, not just cyclists. With this in mind and with consideration of the wider community benefits of CLOCS, it was deemed appropriate to change the name of the programme to Construction Logistics and Community Safety. This change was agreed with and welcomed by the working group representatives.

The achievements of CLOCS would not have been possible without the input, assistance and guidance of the CLOCS working group who have contributed their time, money, knowledge and passion to the programme.
Thanks also go to all the CLOCS Champions for committing to adhere to the requirements of the CLOCS Standard and improve work related road risk and vulnerable road user safety on our roads.
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Many thanks to Transport for London for support in delivering the ambitious programme. Thanks also to AECOM for their role in delivering, supporting and managing CLOCS from the start.
