Vulnerable Road User Training

The CLOCS-A Standard outlines the basic requirements for managing the movement of construction vehicles and ensuring safe interactions with other road users. Its main goal is to control the risks and impacts associated with on-road transportation and logistics activities of construction projects in order to enhance community road safety.

As part of the CLOCS-A Standard, specific training and competency criteria are established for drivers of heavy construction vehicles. These requirements must be met by the organisation and project they are associated with in order to obtain accreditation to the CLOCS-A Standard.

One of these requirements entails that heavy vehicle drivers undergo training and demonstrate competence in “Vulnerable Road User Awareness”.

The VRU training program consists of three levels: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Advancing to the VRU Silver level requires completion of the VRU Bronze training, which serves as a prerequisite for the VRU Gold level.
