Recommendations
Recommendations (the sheriff's words)(a) All heavy goods drivers should be required to undergo compulsory training in loading techniques before being allowed to transport loads, which training should also be on a periodic basis. (b) No load should be transported unless its weight has been accurately ascertained. (c) Every employer involved in the transporting of loads should be required to keep a register of their load restraint equipment showing the safe working load of each piece of equipment and their last date of inspection. Such a system applies in quarry operations and this should be extended by the Department of Transport and the Health and Safety Executive to load securing equipment.
Under section 28 of the 2016 Act, each recipient of a recommendation must respond within 8 weeks. The 8-week window is counted from the publication date. See how we track responses.
