In light of the DfT proposals what's needed now from the HSE is a specific reference to handling wheelchair passengers. I don't think the DfT make any reference to driver safety in their consultation document perhaps that can be included in the final provisions?

JD, could you on our behalf contact HSE and ask them to bring it to the Dft's attention

as HMG started all this, and inflicted the DISDIS act on everyone, its about time they sorted the H&S aspect and risk assesments per job....this could be fun...

Not sure...the scottish lads got the HSE involved and once posted it on here.....it was quite good and I'm surprised you cant remember it.

Yes there is a defence.
