In the rider down thread @howradmichello wondered:
wonderings:
1. was the Gordon HGV fitted with the latest safety equipment (in addition to the cameras) - that meets LCC guidelines?
  
  had the driver (as employed by Gordon) had urban driving training that meets the LCC guidelines?
@charlie_lcc
1. I am not sure about that particular lorry but I know that Gordons group have been very proactive in fitting their vehicles with the latest equipment following an earlier death involving a driver from that company
2. They had planned to get all their drivers trained this spring. I don't think that it has happened yet though. 3 of them including their boss had a session on bikes with Cycle Training UK
This is sad indeed as that company genuinely wished to do all they can to minimise the chance of this happening again. They promote road sharing and cycle/driver training on some of their lorries

Including some advice printed on their lorries:

encouraging,

as long as this equipment meets with the LCC standards ..

It's not LCCs standards that they need to conform to but the industry standard which LCC has supported as well as TfL. It'a programme called CLOCS http://www.clocs.org.uk/workstream-one/

All vehicle companies working for crossrail (Like Gordon's) should be part of this scheme
