10 CHAPTER 1
Safety
PROTECTION AGAINST FIRE
It is mandatory to have an ABC-type
fire extinguisher easily accessible from
both, outside and inside the cab.
If, for any reason, the maintenance
personnel has to work on equipment
that has not been unloaded, for any
type of work, a fire extinguisher (see
Figure 4. “Fire extinguisher location”)
should be made readily available and
close to this vehicle. Anytime a loaded
vehicle is inside a garage, there shall
be a fire extinguisher very close
nearby.
The employer must inform and train all
personnel about the measures to be
taken in case of a truck and/or a
loaded body catching on fire. The
employer must also inform its
employees of an appropriate place to
drop the load near the maintenance
facility (preferably away from traffic,
surface drains and ditches).
