MORE chemical manufacturers now require drivers to attend an official training course before they allow them to drive bulk hazardous freight loads in road tankers. So says Alan Walker, of driver training centre Smith & Robinson of Leeds, at a recent meeting of the Association of Industrial Road Safety Officers.
Smith and Robinson are one of the five Chemical Industries Association-approved training centres in the UK running special courses for hgv drivers, garage staff and managers directly involved in the carriage of hazardous freight in road tankers.
Their three-day course gives an insight into the problems involved in handling hazardous products and offers courses in emergency procedures.
