Why we chose to progress to FORS Silver accreditation
At Ridgway Rentals, we take safety seriously. Achieving FORS Silver demonstrates that we have gone beyond the basic requirements of operating a compliant fleet. It reflects the hard work and commitment of our management team, drivers and wider workforce in developing a strong culture of safety and continuous improvement.
We have held FORS Bronze certification for a number of years, progressing to Silver was always our next logical step, this acreditation solidifies our ongoing commitment to safety and high environmental standards. We have strengthened our procedures, training and monitoring to ensure that our drivers are equipped with the knowledge and skills required to operate safely and responsibly. We have also placed greater emphasis on identifying and managing risks, helping to protect our drivers and other road users including cyclists and pedestrians.
The accreditation also recognises the importance we place on professional development and continuous improvement. Training, communication and regular reviews have helped create a stronger safety culture across the business, ensuring that FORS principles are embedded into our day-to-day operations rather than simply being treated as a compliance exercise.
Achieving FORS Silver is therefore a significant milestone for the company. It demonstrates to our customers, employees and partners that we take road safety, environmental responsibility and operational efficiency seriously.
Most importantly, this is not the end of the journey. We will continue to build on the standards we have achieved, review our performance and look for further opportunities to improve. Our aim is to maintain the high standards required for FORS Silver while continuing to develop our people, processes and fleet.
FORS Silver is recognition of where we are today — and a commitment to keep improving tomorrow.
