We are active members of the Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS). We achieved Bronze status in August 2019 and have made noteworthy changes to the way we operate. The principles that underpin FORS were embedded across the entire company, from recruitment, training through to compliance. In 2020 we raised our standards even higher and achieved FORS Silver. We recognise that improvements could still be made with the achievement of FORS GOLD in 2021. The beneficiaries of achieving FORS Gold will be the general public, customers and staff as standards of safety are raised and environmental impacts are lowered.
Fleet witness are a leading provider of Vehicle Tracking, Video Telematics and Blind Spot Detection technology. Fleetcheck provide a complete Fleet management system. This technology also provides real-time access to vehicle fuel stats, onboard cameras and GPS locations, ensuring we are operating at the highest level for our customers and the wider public. Driver behavior and vehicle performance information allows us to run the fleet more efficiently than ever before. We also opted for CAN integration with our fleet management system so we can measure exact fuel usage to monitor environmental impact and carbon footprint. Information collected will be used to assess measures that will help us reduce their CO² emissions.
Our mindset is a proactive one that goes beyond best practices. Examples of raising the bar with our suppliers include installation of 360° cameras around each sweeper and Blind Spot Detection Proximity Sensors to both side and rear of each sweeper. These initiatives have provided our drivers with an unparalleled level of awareness when operating the vehicles.
