At work this morning one of the lads was asked (by a foreman) to move a small wagon (7500kg gross) out of the way.
The lad has a class 2 license but does not have CPC. He jumped in and moved it 50 feet or so further down the yard out of the way....... job done@tu*
Or so we thought. It was soon brought to our attention that our newly appointed health and safety bloke had spotted this and photographed the lad in the wagon and is going to write up a report. He had a rant about if someone had been killed etc etc the firm's insurance wouldn't pay out a single penny for allowing such an illegal act to take place.
I have tried to find the answer but can't find the wood for the trees as there is so much written about this CPC.
Anyone know the legality of this particular incident? The lad in question is not employed as a driver.
