CLOCS-A Vulnerable Road User (VRU) Training
The CLOCS-A Standard sets out the minimum requirements for managing construction vehicle movements and ensuring safe interactions with other road users with the primary aim of managing the risks and impacts associated with a construction project’s on-road transport and logistics activities to improve community road safety.
As part of the CLOCS-A Standard, minimum training and competency requirements are specified for heavy vehicle drivers of construction vehicles to meet before the organisation (and project) they work for can gain accreditation to the CLOCS-A Standard. As part of these requirements, heavy vehicle drivers are required to complete training in and gain competency in “Vulnerable Road User Awareness”.
The VRU training course is divided into three levels: Bronze, Silver, and Gold. Advancing to the VRU Silver level requires completing the VRU Bronze training first, as it acts as a prerequisite for the VRU Gold level.
