UK HGV Driver PPE Safety Requirements 

Re: the boots. You can get zipper inserts for lace up boots so that they are easy to get on/off, used them on my army boots. You can also buy laced safety that also have built in side zippers for easy exit/entry. Just a thought as it will save you carrying two pairs.

Meanwhile I've just collapsed with heatstroke 🥵 Seriously John a very informative video. Thanks mate 👍

suprise it doesnt have to all be the same colour! great video!

A very good Thursday evening to you all

Health & saftey causes accidents

Won't be long before we have to have an amber beacon on are hard hat's .

Good vlog Johnno, properly explained . Good on you pal 👍

The clue is in the title...HEALTH & SAFETY...they only seem to worry about the safety part...not bothered about your health...all that PPE in hot weather won't help your health to an extent..

On Adr tankers especially on things like acid or caustic you have to wear full chemical suit, long sleeves, hard hat, googles, visor, chemical gauntlets, wellies, high viz and if doing something like ammonia a full face respirator

Before I retired i worked for National Grid. I did however jave to go pon generating sites to observe ancilary service tests, thats services beyong normal f0r which they rfceived payment. Most generating stations required a boiler suit as well as the usyal and er defenders. For gas fired stations the overalls had to be fureproof. NOMEX KNICKERS

I know a guy who got jabbed in a leg with a rebar, and insurance didn't want to pay because he didn't wear eye protection. (luckily lawyer did sort it out in the end )

Fair play to you for just going with what the sites require you to wear, I do a lot of work at a local oil refinery the levels of ppe do seem a bit much at times but i just go with it but the amount of people I see arguing about it then being removed from site is crazy. Like you said its easier to just follow the rules

I wear a high wiz short sleeve t-shirt type, safety shoes, and high wiz pants, working with food so no shorts allowed. I also have a jacket when entering the freezer, going from +25C outside to -20 or colder sure stings so the jacket(also high wiz) is nice, and yes gloves are good to protect your hands, touching freezing metal for a bit is not nice without gloves.

Like you said you look after yourself and keep safe

H&S gone Mad! How many people will say that?

God One Johno

Any job you do you will need some form of PPE.

Quite fun with health and safety as the company's push the drivers to an early grave.

I was waiting for a cyclist to come past and say...What the hell is he doing 😮🤔😂😂

You get a forklift fork in your side I don't think you're going to be above ground long enough to worry about filling out a claim form

PPE.... the least effective method of reducing/removing H&S issues from the workplace.

Look after yourself

Hi Jhon could you please provide a Link to the boots in starting a moter vehicle college course and require boots but i want these type i had proper boots but dont like them thanks

But PPE is to dress to match the plant on site?

To much to say,ITs Bonkers,thank god im retired !.
