Go Beyond Bronze: Achieve Silver & Gold
At HTI, we don’t just stop at helping you achieve and maintain your FORS Bronze accreditation. Our team can also support you in reaching the prestigious Silver and Gold standards — ensuring your business is recognised for operating at the very highest levels.
Why Aim Higher?
Earning Silver and Gold FORS accreditation sets you apart by demonstrating:
Excellence in Road Transport Management – showcasing best practice across your operations.
Uncompromising Safety Standards – prioritising the wellbeing of drivers and other road users.
Commitment to Sustainability – proving your dedication to reducing environmental impact.
Competitive Advantage – positioning your business as a trusted industry leader.
With HTI’s guidance, you’ll have the knowledge, preparation, and support to achieve Silver and Gold with confidence.
GOLD
FORS Gold accreditation requires your organisation to demonstrate best practice across the entire supply chain, while also showing clear improvements based on the findings and standards achieved at the FORS Silver level.
SILVER
FORS Silver accreditation confirms that your organisation has robust best practice procedures in place and that your fleet fully complies with both the CLOCS Standard for Construction Logistics and TfL’s Work-Related Road Risk (WRRR) requirements.
BRONZE
FORS Bronze accreditation is the entry-level qualification that verifies your organisation follows good practice and meets FORS standards in areas such as vehicle safety, operational efficiency (including fuel and tyre management), and environmental responsibility.

Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS): What is it and why you need it?
The Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) is a national scheme that promotes good practice for commercial vehicle operators. The accreditation’s main objective is to raise quality and efficiency standards within fleets to the highest levels. FORS focuses on educating and improving best practice procedures in safety, efficiency, and environmental protection.
The result is that your company will manage work-related road risk (WRRR) better. FORS is open to operators of vans, lorries, mini-buses, coaches and other vehicles as well as to the organisations that award contracts to those operators. While voluntary, FORS accreditation makes strong business sense.
As well as demonstrating that your firm meets high standards, you’ll be opening up new opportunities for growth because more and more companies now insist their suppliers and contractors must be FORS accredited in order to be considered for contracts. They want to cover themselves and FORS is your way of helping them to do that. In addition, the fuel efficiency you’ll achieve as a result of your FORS accreditation can lead to significant cost savings as well as being less harmful to the environment.
The FORS Mid-Term status audit
Maintaining FORS accreditation isn’t always straightforward. At Bronze level, you’re expected to conduct eyesight checks every six months and driver licence checks every three months, as well as review your policies and procedures annually.
For Silver and Gold levels, there’s an annual application submission and an onsite Bronze audit, which is extended to every two years rather than annually. This is because the FORS standard is updated every two years, and maintaining Gold requires ongoing compliance with Bronze requirements.
To stay on track and ensure confidence ahead of your formal FORS review, it’s highly beneficial to undertake an HTI mid-term audit. This proactive check helps identify any gaps, ensuring you remain compliant and prepared at every level.

Achieving FORS accreditation can be a complex process for many businesses, but HTI Transport Consultancy is here to guide you every step of the way.
What is involved in a FORS audit?
A FORS audit checks that your fleet and operations meet all FORS standards, including safety, fuel efficiency, emissions, and overall operational processes.
At HTI Transport Consultancy, we make this process simple and stress-free. We start with an initial assessment of your business and then work with you to create a tailored Transport Management System designed specifically for your fleet. Our systems and processes are built to ensure you’re fully prepared to pass your FORS audit and achieve accreditation.
While we don’t write your company’s health and safety policies or risk assessments for you, we guide and support you in preparing them, giving you added confidence ahead of your audit.
What are the benefits of FORS accreditation?
FORS accreditation not only demonstrates your commitment to driver and road safety, but it can also help you win new business and retain existing customers.
At HTI Transport Consultancy, we view FORS as more than just a standard—it’s a driving force for real improvement and positive change within the road haulage and fleet management industry.
After You’ve Achieved FORS
If you maintain Bronze level accreditation, an onsite audit is required every year. For Silver and Gold levels, onsite audits take place every two years, while evidence for renewal must still be submitted annually.
To help you prepare for your annual audit, you can download the official audit toolkit from the Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS) website.
