2. The issue – cycle safety Between 2001 and 2010 cycle journeys per day in London increased by 70% At the same time the overall number of cyclists killed or seriously injured has decreased by 18% However... 16 cyclist fatalities in London in 2011 –9 involved an HGV –7of these were construction vehicles (but this vehicle type only makes up a small proportion of goods vehicles in London)

3. The Issue - Congestion Estimated construction vehicle trip saving by construction site with and without using the London Construction Consolidation Centre (LCCC).

4. The Issue – Waste

5. The Issue – Emissions Limit Value NO 2 annual average concentrations (mg/m 3 ) for the year 2008

11. CLP / FORS Benefits Local Authority BusinessOperators Fewer vehicles (particularly at peak times)  Less congestion  Reduced risk of collisions  Reduced noise and intrusion  Less emissions  Reduction in traffic offences  Reduced delivery costs  Improved freight operator efficiency  Improved journey time reliability Safe and Legal Loading (preferably off street)  Reduced accidents from goods handling  Reduced opportunity for thefts to occur  Better Management of loading bays  Reduction in parking violations Responsible procurement  Better community relations, contributing to Corporate Social Responsibility programmes.  Lower fuel consumption

17. Improve understanding TfL commissioned research into why construction vehicles were over-represented in cyclist fatalities Research determined what actions need to be taken to make construction logistics safer 12 key recommendations covering: –Vehicles –Drivers –Contracts –Culture

18. Key findings Road risk is viewed as less important than general health and safety risk Lack of ownership of road risk by clients and primary contractors Construction vehicles still have significant blind spots Pay per load issues Need to address safer routes to construction sites, delivery time slots

19. OwnerRecommendations / actions to be taken HSEACoP Extend RIDDOR Review CDM Regs Construction logistics Commit to using any new transport road safety quality standard Property developers Responsibility for road risk throughout all tiers of the construction supply chain Realistic delivery arrangements, routes, timings and use of holding areas DfTReview vehicle design standards and blind spots in C&U Regs and WVTA Vehicle manufacturers Improve construction vehicle design standards to increase direct vision Conduct wider research into blind spots

20. EU lobbying Letter from Sir Peter Hendy to key stakeholders and action owners to gain commitment to work with TfL Action Plan High level HSE / TfL meeting Draft WRRR safety requirement procurement toolkit Development of working groups with key groups to drive forward recommendations –Construction logistics operators –Property developers –Vehicle manufacturers Outputs to date
