My company are adamant to switch from a LPG FLT to a diesel FLT due to costs. I am concerned reagding the fumes from the truck. There are 3 Shutter doors around the warehouse which are kept open from 6am - 12pm and then re-opened at 5pm until 8pm. Is there any defnitive guidance available on the use of FLT I can use to show my employer. I have had a browse with no luck ?

You could try an anon call to HSE. Then insist the company do a fume test. Don't let the company H&S consultants persuade the company to hold the tests at a minute past midnight on a Sunday. Since diesel particulates are said to cause everything in towns, from the black death to skin disease, it will be interesting to see what excuses the H&S pros' come-up with for business as usual.... www.cdph.ca.gov/programs...sis/Documents/diesel.pdf and google/bing: problems caused by diesel exhaust indoors

Is there any particular reason for not considering an electric truck?

Interesting to note that the gudiance suggests both petrol, diesel and LPG need to be controlled (which is logical). Industry practice is certainly to only use electric FLT for internal-only applications. Does the fact you already operate LPG internally suggest that there is adequate ventillation? If not, factor in the cost for installing a suitbale ventiallation system, plus the costs to maintain and run the system on the overal cost for using a diesel FLT. You may then find an electric FLT is more cost effective. Another point, if you wish to persuade your employer, is not just the risk of failing to comply with legal compliance but civil actions that could arise and the liklihood of this given your situation, the guidance and well recognised industry practice that exists.
