Hi Shaun, HSG 261 is your first port of call, the HSE's guidance to Motor Vehicle Repair. This replaced HSG 67 & HSG 62 and is available at: http://www.hse.gov.uk/pubns/priced/hsg261.pdf Far too many risks to go into detail but the main hazards specific to HGV repair would include (off top of my head brainstorming): * Falls from height (off backs of vehicles, into pits etc) * Explosive components (air bags, some seat belt tensioners) * Crushing injuries (unsupported cabs, tipper bodies, poorly maintained axle stands / jacks etc.) * COSHH (waste oils, antifreeze, adBlue, battery acids, exhaust ventilation) * Type inflation (cage etc req'd) * PUWER (maintenance of vehicle lifts etc.) * S,T,F (oily floors etc.) * Asbestos / Harmful Substances (older vehicles may have asbestos containing brake pads, if not brake / clutch dust isn't nice anyway) * Eye injuries (working under HGV's, from power presses, from use of hand tools) * Workplace Transport * Noise & Vibrations (form hand tools etc.) * Fire (Welding / burning, dropping oil / fuel tanks) Best Regards, Ian

Our company is based in Cornwall, I have been in contact with 2 companies, but does anyone know of where to get advice or possible site visit on equipment that could be installed in our garage so our mechanics can work at height i.e. fall arrest system? Many thanks Shaun
