Clocs A (Construction Logistics And Community Safety Australia

Construction Logistics and Community Safety – Australia (CLOCS-A) is a national good practice approach for managing the risks and impacts associated with a construction project’s on-road transport and logistics activities to community road safety. It was developed to provide a consistent framework for industry to achieve and has been inspired by the success of the Construction Logistics and Community Safety (CLOCS) program established in the United Kingdom in reducing road trauma associated with construction logistics. The primary goal of CLOCS-A is that a similar reduction in lives lost and serious injuries can be achieved locally on our roads in Australia. The CLOCS-A Program has since established a Steering Group (SG) and Supporting Partner (SP) group through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) which formalises the relationship between the SG and SP organisations to work together collaboratively in improving road safety and the operational efficiency relating to the logistics of the construction of infrastructure projects. CLOCS-A has received key funding through the National Heavy Vehicle Regulator’s (NHVR) Heavy Vehicle Safety Initiative, supported by the Commonwealth Government to progress its objective to improve road safety for all road users through providing industry with a consistent good practice standard for the management of safety in construction logistics.
