THE LATEST FORS accreditation scheme Standard (Version 6.0), has been published, which for the first time, includes requirements for fleet operators to have policies and supporting procedures in place to prevent driver impairment through drugs and alcohol.
Specifically, it insists on actions to take when suspecting driver impairment and requires drug and alcohol testing to be conducted before employment or the start of a particular contract, routinely, randomly or unannounced and after involvement in a road traffic collision, incident or near-miss.
