Obviously company vehicles are a H&S issue as much as anything else - possibly more so, as the are a hazard to many other people as well as you guys. As commercial companies the units may well require a minibud operator's licence. There is a Minibus Safety code of practice (which I have recently been handed to read, as I made the mistake of volunteering to drive one on a remote northern island). It's a ludicrous document, as so many of these things are, but gives advice on things like Risk Assessments, driver training and so on.
Asking to see risk assessemnts in the site hut and so on is all very well but sending staff out in an unroadworthy vehicle is literally criminal.
Today, Bradford. Tomorrow, well, Bradford probably.
