FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
FORS Bronze is the entry level and focuses on basic safety and legal undertakings. FORS Silver requires additional vehicle safety equipment (such as cameras and side-sensors for London compliance) and driver training. FORS Gold is the highest tier, requiring proof of emissions reductions, community engagement, and detailed operational case studies.
If you fail, you receive a 'follow-up' report detailing which criteria were not met. You have a limited time to resolve these deficiencies and submit corrective evidence. We help operators audit-proof their operations beforehand so they pass first time, but we also assist in correcting fail points.
We set up, manage, and monitor your fleet's FORS Professional eLearning accounts. We trace driver completions for mandatory modules (such as safe urban driving, safety equipment, or fuel efficiency) and build a clean dashboard to present to your FORS assessor.
