Petition Require first aid kits and fire extinguishers in all HGV vehicles

To meet their health and safety obligations, most employers provide first aid kits and fire extinguishers in work places. We are asking for a specific health and safety regulation requiring first aid kits and fire extinguishers in all HGV vehicles, to help ensure the safety of lone HGV drivers.

More details

We are asking that the Government recognise the specific health and safety risks to lone HGV drivers, and make it a legal requirement for there to be first aid kits and fire extinguishers in all HGV vehicles.

At present there is a huge variation in the provision and maintenance of first aid kits and fire extinguishers. The stark reality is that too many employers do not provide these basic safety tools.
