Ahmarra are accredited with the bronze level requirements for the Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme (FORS). The scheme supports our staff to develop the skills and knowledge required to become professional drivers by following industry recognised best practice procedures. Our participation in the training and accreditation scheme reflects our commitment to safe working practices, staff development and reducing our environmental impact.
To achieve the FORS accreditation, we have to demonstrate that we meet the scheme’s criteria through a strict on-site audit at Ahmarra’s Hampshire-based manufacturing facility. The process involved providing evidence of Health & Safety, Environmental and Quality practices, procedures and documentation, and is reviewed on an annual basis.
This demonstrates to clients that we offer a fully certified fire door product with extensive quality and environmental processes in place throughout from initial enquiry, to manufacture and finally now to include delivery to site.
The benefits of using a FORS accredited member include:
Safer
We have fully invested in our staff’s safety and development, the scheme enables our drivers to increase their road awareness, loading procedures and knowledge of current transport legislation, minimising the risk of accidents and injuries.
More Efficient
We take every care to minimise the effects our production and transportation processes have on the environment and as such we are pleased that the training will enabled our staff to reduce fuel consumption by applying more efficient driving techniques. This will reduce our carbon emissions in line with our environmental policies.
More Effective
The scheme enables our drivers to deliver a more effective service through better journey planning skills.
