Common questions
FORS Bronze Accreditation?
FORS Bronze is the entry-level accreditation that shows your fleet meets key legal, safety, and environmental standards.
How do I register for FORS Bronze?
You can register for FORS Bronze directly via the FORS website. You’ll need to complete an online application, prepare evidence, and pass an on-site audit.
What documents do I need for a FORS Bronze audit?
You’ll need policies and records covering areas such as driver health and licence checks, vehicle maintenance, insurance, risk assessments, and environmental policies.
Always refer to the latest version of the FORS Standard for full details.
Do I need written policies for everything?
If you are a small operator (with fewer than five vehicles and fewer than five employees), you can explain some requirements during an audit instead of providing written documents. Larger operators must provide written documentation.
What training is required for FORS Bronze?
Your responsible person must complete a FORS-approved management course. Drivers should be briefed on key policies and complete an annual health declaration.
Always refer to the latest version of the FORS Standard for full details.
How long does FORS Bronze accreditation last?
Bronze accreditation is valid for 12 months. You will need to renew it each year by passing a follow-up audit.
How much does FORS Bronze accreditation cost?
Costs depend on your fleet size. You can check the current pricing and fees.
What happens if I fail the Bronze audit?
You will receive a report highlighting what needs to be improved. Once those issues are resolved, you can reapply for the audit.
Can I go straight to FORS Silver or FORS Gold?
No, FORS Bronze is a mandatory first step. You must achieve and maintain Bronze before applying for Silver or Gold.
