Lucion is proud to announce that our specialist drilling division has successfully maintained its FORS (Fleet Operator Recognition Scheme) Bronze accreditation following a comprehensive audit on October 15th, 2024.

FORS Accreditation 

FORS Bronze accreditation demonstrates our dedication to exceeding industry standards in safety, efficiency, and environmental protection. For our clients, this certification ensures they’re working with an operator that prioritises safety, maintains professional standards, and implements robust procedures across all operations. It represents our commitment to continuous improvement and industry best practices. 

We are pleased to report that our team achieved a perfect score with zero recorded actions, underlining our commitment to maintaining the highest standards of fleet safety and operational excellence. 

“This achievement reflects the outstanding collaborative effort across our teams. Laura Hargreaves, our Group Fleet Support, demonstrated exceptional dedication in preparing and maintaining our extensive FORS documentation. With 32 different sections requiring thorough review and updates to align with our evolving company procedures, achieving zero recorded actions is a testament to our team’s commitment to excellence. 

The success of this audit not only validates our robust safety procedures but also highlights our drilling team’s continuous dedication to maintaining the highest road safety standards. This accreditation renewal reinforces our position as industry leaders in safe and efficient drilling operations.”
