What does it mean to be FORS credited?
One thing you may have seen us shout about is that we have FORS silver accreditation for our fleet of vans, which we have achieved for a few years now.
But what does it mean? And more importantly, what does it mean to you? Does it make much difference to your delivery service?
In this article, we will explain why it’s so valuable to us and why it’s of benefit to you and offers you peace of mind when choosing us as your supplier.
FORS stands for Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme, which does what it can to set the standard for safer, smarter and greener road transport operations.
FORS, which is a voluntary accreditation program, gives companies a framework and sets benchmarks for them to help operators boost performance in environmental impact, safety and operational efficiency.
Being with FORS allows you to have further training, to put in place safer working practices and to commit to higher standards as a company.
FORS have three ratings; bronze, silver and gold, with gold being the top. To achieve these ratings, lots of things have to be put into place to ensure you achieve them.
By having Silver accreditation though, FORS believe that “you employ good practice and comply with the requirements laid out by the FORS Standard.”
It also means that we’ve added some additional safety measures to our fleet, too. These include cameras and proximity sensors.
For you, it means that when you order with Multifix, you can rest assured that our fleet and drivers have been proven to be safe, well-trained and efficient by an independent regulator.
It means that you can order with us knowing that your delivery will be reliable and that the route planning for it to get to you will be done with care and diligence.
Having Silver accreditation from FORS is a huge badge of honour for us, but we aren’t content with just settling. In accordance with FORS requirements, we are always looking at ways we can improve.
