Posted By Renny Thomson If they are genuine road tankers, they will be marked accordingly. If it is a regular occrance, I'd advise the local Fire Service of the location and types of chemicals.

Posted By john temple Hi Mell Check out the new security regulations regarding the parking and storage of haz goods, there is lots of stuff in there that you should and should not do and advertising you have them on site may not be a good idea, its more about where on site / segregation and access.

Posted By john temple Hi Mell Just a thought, the site should have or access to a dangerous goods safety advisor if the site or business is dealing with the loading unloading or storage of haz goods. Under the new ADR regulations the DGSA has to adopt a number of security and safety procedures and also have a security HSE policy. these are all stated in the Orange books (european Rugulations on the transport of dangerous goods) but only in the re written 2005 version. Check with your DGSA where they are up to on complying with the regs.
