DEPARTMENT of Transpo proposals to make vehicl carrying hazardous loaA undergo six-monthly tests i stead of annual tests has m with opposition from ti Freight Transport Associ tion.
The FTA says that the i stead of annual tests have m with opposition from tt Freight Transport Associ tion.
And it proposes a steppin up of spot checks on roadsid€ and in the yards run by open tors who carry dangerou goods, plus more legal effect given to codes of practic covering construction of tanli and other equipment.
When vehicles are examirn the FTA wants examiners I look at tanker barrels ar other equipment in the cowl of the examination.
Training could be step/3( up, with more encouragemel given to training all who a: involved in the carriage dangerous goods.
FTA says that its oppositic to the proposals is based c the safety record of Britit vehicles which, they say, second to none.
DTp tests cover only a mechanical condition of tt vehicle, says FTA, and this beyond question in most case The ability of the hgv te network to cope with the al ded influx of testing for tt new rules comes into questio says FTA, and it doub whether the new tests could I absorbed without unde mining the whole system.
A new system such as th; proposed would mean tin more vehicles are on the rot: in a loaded condition and ti cost of the scheme would t passed on to the customer.
FTA says that a significat number of occasional carrie of dangerous goods could al: withdraw completely from tt business in order to avoid ti new regulations and this cou lead to a whole new shortai of capacity in the industry.
