Guidance Note 35 ‘Vehicle Selection and Transport Management’ brings together for the first time key criteria and information for manufacturers, transport and freight operators.
It includes advice on vehicle selection, the recruitment, training and assessment of personnel, and relevant issues for a transport management system associated with Class 2 dangerous goods.
Doug Thornton, chief executive of BCGA, says GN35 pulls together “a wealth of information”.
He adds: “The purpose of BCGA’s guidance notes is to recommend good practice and give information for safe procedures in the fields of production, distribution and the application of gases, or for the use of gas equipment.
“They take account of overarching legislation and assist in ensuring compliance through the development of controls to improve industry standards.”
