Chairman’s welcome Brian Weatherley #CLOCS
CLOCS – we’ve come a long way
The word is definitely out there…
The debate on cab vision is spreading…
Cycle safety is no longer seen in ‘isolation’…
Better safety by ‘innovative’ design…
Better safety by technology …
Better safety through application…
Better safety through application…
Better safety through ‘conversation’…
Cycle safety still needs to get better…

CLOCS: A two year journey • Introduction and look back • Introduction and look back • Adoption and application of the standard p pp • Progress towards safer trucks • From exception to norm • Next steps and look forward Looking out for vulnerable road users
A quick recap - The evidence for change “the management of work-related road risk clearly lags behind the management risk clearly lags behind the management of more general health and safety” Page 10 “there seems to be an underlying attitude that managing road risk is not a legitimate use of time” Page 12 “it can be seen that the blindspot on the mixer is 50% greater than that of the curtain side ” t i id ” Page 15

Applying the CLOCS standard couldn't be easier • CLOCS Working Group has d fi defined the most effective d th t ff ti solutions to meet the CLOCS Standard • Solution set includes a range of guidance documents toolkits and guidance documents, toolkits and services • Standard default solutions cover the operation, vehicle and driver requirements of the CLOCS requirements of the CLOCS Standard
The CLOCS Standard in contracts
The CLOCS Standard in operations
Standard 3.3 - Driver safety requirements • Safe Urban Driver (SUD) training is now available training is now available nationwide • Funding for SUD training is F di f SUD i i i available for drivers in London • An approval process has been developed to recognise other driver training courses driver training courses • The DVLA now provide a free service to check driver licence details
Standard 3.2 - Vehicle safety requirements • A testing method has been developed to evaluate the developed to evaluate the effectiveness of safety technology • Vehicle manufacturers and dealers V hi l f d d l now provide CLOCS safety equipment as standard equipment as standard • London’s Safer Lorry Scheme will ensure all HGVs are fitted with ensure all HGVs are fitted with blindspot mirrors and sideguards • Standard blindspot warning signage is available through FORS
Standard 3.1.2 - Collision reporting
Standard 3.1.1 - Quality Operation • FORS meets the ‘Quality Operation’ requirement of Operation requirement of CLOCS • T Two thirds of operators are hi d f based outside London and FORS is now available across the UK is now available across the UK • Over 250,000 vehicles accredited to the scheme from over 3 000 to the scheme from over 3,000 companies and 10,000 depots • Awarded the Prince Michael International Road Safety Award as a leader in fleet safety as a leader in fleet safety

Progress towards safer trucks
The issue: Vehicle blindspots
Understanding HGV blindspots • To objectively model the areas around different HGVs by make model and different HGVs by make, model and body type which are: • Directly visible by the driver through the cab • Directly visible by the driver through the cab windshield and windows • Indirectly visible by the driver through the mandatory mirror set • Neither directly, nor indirectly visible by the driver (i e the blind spots) driver (i.e. the blind spots) • Loughborough Design School have laser scanned and digitised a range of laser scanned and digitised a range of HGVs to enable comparisons to be made in driver vision
