• An asphalt producer is asking its owner-drivers to fork out up to £1,000 on sheeting equipment in preparation for a Health & Safety Executive guidance document due out next year.
Bardon Roadstone's London area director Jim Crick is telling drivers that from January he will give priority to tippermen who have mechanical sheeting systems which can be operated from ground level. Crick recog nises that the guidance will not be law, but he says: "It will take just one bad fall and it will become law. I'm just getting it sorted out from the beginning," The company is offering interest free finance to help drivers buy the equipment for about 90.trucks they operate at Greenwich, West Drayton and Brentford.
