#hgv #hgvdriver #truck For all the new passes with Class 1 and Class 2 HGV drivers. Truck drivers in the UK are required to wear PPE and now I look like a carrot.
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.
Late comment from me John as I remember years ago before ill health. It became a requirement to always wear a hi-vis in the depot. I never felt so ridiculous in all my life & you can imagine the overalls we had to wear & yes it make you look like the tango man. 😂🤣🤪😜🤡🤬🤬🤡😂🤣🤪😜
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
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 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.
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 )
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..
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

H&S gone Mad! How many people will say that?
A few I would imagine

I have occasionally jumped out of the cab and forgot to put something on and been told off but I just say yes sorry no problem I will grab whatever

Wow now that's a set up

That must have been uncomfortable

I can imagine I've worked in a freezer before and I think coming out from the cold enter in to 25+ degrees is the worst you heat up so quick
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 )
Yeah because eye protection would have stopped him getting hurt in the leg, like I said that's all this stuff is for to cover their own pockets
Like you said you look after yourself and keep safe
Always look out for number one
Won't be long before we have to have an amber beacon on are hard hat's .
Now there's an idea🤣

Health and safety Has made people lose common sense
Health & saftey causes accidents
God One Johno
Thanks but I wouldn't compare me to a God just yet
PPE.... the least effective method of reducing/removing H&S issues from the workplace.
I understand I believe it's made people less conscious of their own well-being
At least you’re not invisible now John-O that’s all it matters now Pal.
😂🤣🤪😜🤡🤬🤬🤡😂🤣🤪😜
Quite fun with health and safety as the company's push the drivers to an early grave.
At the end of the day we got to do what we got to do
Any job you do you will need some form of PPE.
Well almost
Look after yourself
Always do
@@TruckerJohno good
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
People have survived from worse

@@TruckerJohno Thanks have a good friday hopefully not a late finish and enjoy the weekend
Hopefully not enjoy your weekend too
I was waiting for a cyclist to come past and say...What the hell is he doing 😮🤔😂😂
Bloody cyclists
But PPE is to dress to match the plant on site?
I know you're joking about but seriously some places do require you to wear the same colour top and bottom
To much to say,ITs Bonkers,thank god im retired !.
It is a bit unnecessary sometimes but it's no hardship
