Posted By Chris Pope In a passenger carrying van can anyone tell me the actual regulation which requires full bulkheads to be installed to separate the passengers from materials carried in the storage area at the back. Secondly what is the regulation requiring bulkheads for minibuses which also carry materials. I do believe that regulations also state that fuel cans must be in a separate part of the vehicle, eg a closed store or the back of a pick up. I am trying to convince someone of the danger and need chapter and verse to carry the day !

Posted By Linda Crossland-Clarke Hi I can't give you any chapter and verse on this one. But in the falklands, it was well known not to keep your spare wheel inside the "lanny" as if you ran off the road, the impact of the wheel on your head would kill you (it has happened). Also don't put it on the roof as bouncing it off the top lead to a few injuries! I have photos of gas cylinders carried in a vehicle that have come throught the windscreen if you want.... Regards Linda

Posted By Ron Impey Hi Chris, It is covered in the Department for Transport Code of Practice 'Safety of Loads on Vehicles'. http://www.dft.gov.uk/st...age/dft_roads_506864.pdf I have developed a set of posters on the danger of loose loads in vehicles.
