Is there any guidance anywhere on the fitting of automatic warning horns onto HGVs when they are reversing ???

Firstly, refer to the HSE Free leaflet on 'Reversing Vehicles' INDG 148. There are a number of potential problems associated with such alarms and environmental noise is just one of them. You should consider a range of other control measures as well and also try and select the type of alarm to suit the workplace - i.e. we have found the 'Brigade' ambient noise sensitive type to be very good, and it come in broadband noise type for less intrusion (see http://www.reverseinsafety.co.uk/press8.html).
Also read the other HSE docs in their website for further info.(http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/tranindx.htm)
Hope this helps, George
