When I was delivering stock to shops the company H&S assessor would visit each shop to see if it was safe for drivers to deliver using a class2 truck with a tail lift and roll cages, if not they sent me with a van and the stuff on pallets and i had to handball it all in...for a price of course no-one bothered about me though |

The only court case that draws a parallel is concerning the Birmingham black cab that was transporting a teenaged girl in her wheelchair, along with her father as carer. The wheelchair was not anchored correctly, the cab driver had to brake severely, the girl had brittle bone disease and the braking action broke her neck and she died. The coroner said that the driver was exonerated, because it was the father who had loaded his daughter in that manner/position in the taxi, and it was the father who had supervised her seat belt and chair anchorage, or lack of it. |

Perhaps you should look at pushchairs to? Seems to me this is far more dangerous,at least wheelchairs are supposed to be clamped in. |

I really like this one. http://www.taxi-driver.co.uk/wheelchair.pdf The lads from Edinburgh arranged this, and it has some really helpful advice in respect of angles to size of punter, and whether it's safe for the driver to undertake a job or not. Great help for drivers who genuinely refuse to load big punters from the road. |
