How to prepare for FORS accreditation? 
Preparing for a FORS audit can be overwhelming. With your focus being on day-to-day company business, you’ll welcome the hands-on FORS support that we give you. 

We begin by getting to know your business. We then work with you to prepare your audit documents. We’ll do this as a one-off, or if you like, we’ll manage your accreditation for the long–term. 

​To become FORS accredited, as a bare minimum,  you need the following  

1. Risk assessments – to be completed by the person responsible for health and safety in your business. 
2. Transport compliance and best practice – Your company drivers’ tacho management, driver working time records and vehicle maintenance records will be checked at the audit. Documents must be available for MOTs, vehicle inspection, vehicle tax, tail lift inspections or any additional ancillary equipment. 
3. Communication – you will need to demonstrate how you effectively communicate with staff within your organisation. 
4. Driver Training – Drivers must complete adequate training.  
5. Your FORS Champions – you will need to name FORS Champions depending on the level of your accreditation. These people ( or one person) will have to take responsibility and complete training according to the FORS standard requirements. 
6. Data Capture and analysis – Complaints, vehicle collisions, fuel and Ad-Blue usage and transport infringements together with PCNs need to be monitored. 
7. Relevant licences – make sure your Operator licence or other vehicle operating permit is up to date and available to view by the auditor.
