Posted By Jason McQueen I was wondering what legislation applies to exterior lighting a private traffic routes? We have a situation where fork lift trucks are travelling along a route where the lights have gone resulting in near darkness but my employer is reluctant to repair them as the forklifts have rudementry lights fitted to them.

Posted By Allan St.John Holt Doesn't sound very 'private' to me! This would be an attempt to evade the Workplace Regulations, right? The standards, by the way, can be found in the various CIBSE lighting guides. Allan

Posted By Ken Taylor Nice to hear from you again! I know what you mean by querying the use of the term 'private'. I was, of course, using this in the sense of not being part of a public highway - to which other legislation would apply. The CIBSE standards are good - whereas I have never been too impressed with HSG38. However, the question is one of actual legislation and that's where the situation can be 'weak' in terms of getting the employer to respond.
