The Construction Logistics and Community Safety (CLOCS) initiative sets crucial standards for construction vehicles to protect vulnerable road users and improve road safety. As CLOCS compliance becomes increasingly important in the construction sector, having the right equipment and solutions is essential. At Dun-Bri Group, we offer a comprehensive range of products specifically designed to help construction fleets meet CLOCS requirements and ensure safer logistics practices. In this article, we explore the ways in which our products support CLOCS compliance and contribute to safer operations.
Vehicle Safety Equipment: Visibility and Awareness Solutions
Visibility is a cornerstone of the CLOCS standard, especially for large construction vehicles that often operate in high-density areas with limited visibility. Dun-Bri Group offers a variety of products to enhance vehicle visibility and help drivers maintain situational awareness, effectively addressing this core CLOCS requirement.
- High-Quality LED Lighting: Our selection of LED lights, including strobes, indicators, and work lights, improves vehicle visibility, making construction vehicles more noticeable in low-light conditions. Our lights meet industry standards for durability and brightness, ensuring they remain effective in challenging environments.
- Reflective Tape and Markings: Reflective products are essential for visibility, especially during night-time or in adverse weather. We supply high-visibility reflective tapes that meet CLOCS’s requirements, helping construction vehicles stand out and alerting other road users to their presence.
- Wide-Angle and Blind Spot Mirrors: Mirrors are vital for giving drivers a full field of view. Our wide-angle and blind spot mirrors significantly reduce blind spots, helping drivers navigate urban settings more safely. These mirrors are built to withstand tough conditions, ensuring long-lasting performance.
Proximity Sensors and Camera Systems: Reducing Blind Spots and Enhancing Safety
Blind spots are a common hazard for construction vehicles, increasing the risk of collisions with pedestrians, cyclists, and other vulnerable road users. Dun-Bri Group offers a range of camera and sensor systems that help drivers monitor their surroundings more effectively, addressing CLOCS requirements for improved awareness and safety.
- Side and Rear-View Cameras: Our camera systems provide drivers with real-time video feeds of areas around the vehicle that would otherwise be difficult to monitor. High-quality imaging and wide-angle lenses allow drivers to spot obstacles and pedestrians, minimizing accident risks.
- Proximity Sensors: Our proximity sensors detect objects in close proximity to the vehicle, alerting drivers through audible or visual signals. These sensors are particularly useful in busy urban areas where vehicles frequently encounter pedestrians and cyclists.
- Dash and Recording Cameras: Recording cameras are valuable tools for monitoring driver behaviour and gathering evidence in the event of an incident. Our dash and recording cameras support CLOCS’s emphasis on accountability and transparency, providing companies with an additional layer of security.
Audio and Visual Warning Systems: Alerting Road Users and Preventing Incidents
Alerting road users of a construction vehicle’s presence and movements is critical for preventing incidents. Dun-Bri Group offers a range of audio and visual warning systems that help meet CLOCS standards, ensuring pedestrians and cyclists are aware of nearby construction vehicles.
- Reversing Alarms: Our reversing alarms provide an audible signal to pedestrians and cyclists when a vehicle is moving in reverse. These alarms are designed to be heard in noisy environments, making them highly effective in construction zones and urban settings.
- External Warning Lights: We offer a range of external warning lights, including strobes and LED beacons, which are designed to alert other road users of a vehicle’s movements. These lights are particularly effective in drawing attention to the vehicle in low-visibility conditions or during complex manoeuvres.
- Indicator and Turn Signals: Clear signalling is essential when navigating high-traffic areas. Our indicator and turn signal solutions are designed for reliability and high visibility, helping drivers communicate their intentions effectively to surrounding road users.
Telematics and Fleet Tracking Solutions: Enhancing Logistics Planning and Compliance
Effective logistics planning plays a significant role in meeting CLOCS standards, as it helps reduce the risk of incidents by optimizing routes and scheduling vehicle movements. Dun-Bri Group offers telematics and fleet tracking solutions that enable fleet managers to monitor vehicle positions and improve route planning.
- Real-Time Fleet Tracking: Our telematics systems allow fleet managers to monitor vehicle locations in real time, enabling proactive route adjustments to avoid high-risk areas. This helps to reduce the likelihood of incidents in congested urban zones, supporting CLOCS’s focus on safety.
- Driver Behaviour Monitoring: With our telematics solutions, fleet managers can monitor driving behaviours such as speeding, harsh braking, and idling. By identifying and addressing risky driving practices, companies can align with CLOCS’s emphasis on driver responsibility and safe practices.
- Geo-Fencing and Route Optimization: Our telematics systems support geo-fencing, which allows fleet managers to create virtual boundaries for vehicles. This feature is valuable for ensuring construction vehicles remain within designated routes, improving safety and compliance with CLOCS standards.
Comprehensive Reflective and Signage Solutions: Maximizing Visibility and Compliance
Reflective and signage products are crucial for ensuring that construction vehicles are visible to other road users, especially in low-light settings. Dun-Bri Group’s reflective and signage solutions help companies meet CLOCS’s visibility requirements effectively.
- Reflective Tapes and Strips: Our reflective tapes are designed to provide high visibility, even in low-light or adverse weather conditions. These tapes meet industry standards and are easy to apply, making them a practical solution for enhancing vehicle visibility.
- Safety Signage: We offer a range of safety signage for vehicles, including warning signs and notices that alert pedestrians and cyclists to the presence of a construction vehicle. These signs are durable and weather-resistant, ensuring they remain visible and effective in all conditions.
