Transport Compliance Services in London
London presents the most complex compliance environment for transport operators in the UK — with FORS Silver or Gold required for most major contracts, DVS permits mandatory for HGVs over 12 tonnes, ULEZ compliance essential and CLOCS requirements on all significant construction projects.
We work with transport operators of all sizes across London — from sole traders setting up their first operator licence through to multi-site fleet operations pursuing FORS Gold or ISO 9001. Our team travels to your site for gap analysis, mock audits, tail lift training and on-the-day FORS audit support.
Areas Covered
We regularly work with operators based in and around: City of London, Canary Wharf, ULEZ zones, all London boroughs. If you are based elsewhere in London and not listed above, contact us — we operate across South East England and assess each engagement individually.
London-Specific Requirements
Direct Vision Standard
All HGVs over 12 tonnes operating in Greater London require a DVS permit. The permit application requires vehicles to have a DVS star rating and, for 0–2 star vehicles, approved safety equipment including cameras, audible warnings and blind spot sensors. J&JL Ltd integrate DVS compliance into FORS preparation for London operators.
CLOCS
CLOCS is required for operators working on major London construction projects. FORS Silver satisfies CLOCS requirements. J&JL Ltd support operators in achieving FORS Silver and CLOCS compliance simultaneously.
ULEZ and Emission Standards
London's Ultra Low Emission Zone covers all London roads. HGVs must meet Euro VI emission standards or face a daily charge. J&JL Ltd advise operators on ULEZ compliance as part of fleet setup and FORS preparation.
FORS Accreditation in London
FORS accreditation is required for an increasing number of transport contracts across London — particularly in construction, infrastructure, public sector and retail logistics. J&JL Ltd have a 100% first-time pass rate for FORS Bronze, Silver and Gold under the current FORS Standard v7.1. We handle the full process from gap analysis through to post-certification management.
Health & Safety Compliance in London
Transport H&S management in London is governed by the same national framework — HSWA 1974, PUWER, LOLER, COSHH, RIDDOR, the Corporate Manslaughter Act and Road Transport Working Time Regulations — but the specific risks, operating environment and client requirements vary by sector and geography. J&JL Ltd build bespoke H&S systems that reflect the actual risks in your operation.
Fleet Set-Up in London
Setting up a transport operation in London requires an operator licence from the Traffic Commissioner, a nominated Transport Manager with CPC qualification, financial standing evidence and a compliant operating centre. J&JL Ltd handle the full application process and build all required compliance systems from day one.
