We are thrilled to host the CLOCS-A Safety Forum in NSW!
This premier industry event unites the CLOCS-A community as they tackle the most pressing challenges in construction logistics. Our mission is clear: to ensure every journey to and from construction sites across Australia safeguards vulnerable road users, while enabling organisations to deliver safer, leaner, and greener vehicle operations.
Through expert collaboration, the sharing of best practices, and addressing common challenges, the forum elevates industry standards, strengthens community safety, and drives meaningful, lasting change.
Under the theme Vision Zero in Construction Logistics, this forum will showcase innovative approaches, bold strategies, and proven solutions aimed at minimising fatalities and serious injuries on our roads.
Participants will gain valuable insights from industry leaders, government representatives, and safety experts on how to embed the CLOCS-A Standard into planning, procurement, and everyday operations. Interactive workshops will provide practical guidance on CLOCS-A accreditation, driver education, and auditor training.
Together, we will explore how smarter planning, advanced technology, and cultural change can protect vulnerable road users while supporting more efficient, sustainable, and socially responsible projects.
