Rank: Guest		Posted By Swis This raises another question….Taxi drivers are required to have fire extinguishers and first aid kits in their cabs. What laws govern such requirements? Is there a (real) need for these? What purpose do these kits serve if the driver is not adequately trained? Personally, I think of any legislation which requires company vehicles to have such items.

Rank: Guest		Posted By Phil Rose Para 20 of L74 mentions, but does not go as far as saying that mobile workers should have a first aid kit, but it seems like a reasonable and sensible thing to do to me and we provide them in our vehicles.

Rank: Guest		Posted By Phil Rose Dave, sorry, but I have got to ask whether that post was intended to be helpful to Peter or anyone else for that matter. I wonder if you can elaborate on the thinking behind each of the questions posed so that we can discuss further.

Rank: Guest		Posted By Stefan Daunt So as I'm on my travels and I come across a car wrapped around a tree, do you think I'm not going to apply a dressing to the drivers head wound, because I may not be insured. Err I don't think so. It's nanny state comments and actions or lack of them that give health and safety the bad press it receives.

Rank: Guest		Posted By Phil Rose Yes, I am also a bit puzzled by the 'am I insured' scenario.
