Hi again, DaveI think iāve got the gist of this nowā¦but i still have a nagging doubt (even after reading the CDG Document) :D:D
OKā¦here goes-
LQās = No problemā¦i understand thatā¦no additional stuff needed.
Nothing needed on your part whatsoever.
GlesgaBill:
Load over the āsmall threshold limitā = Full ADR appliesā¦Tremcard,Boards, Chockā¦PPE Extinguishers, etc etc etc I understand that.
Yes, we have a winner!!
GlesgaBill:
āSmall threshold limitā = This is where iām unsure. If i have a load or item(s) under the threshold limit, what (if any) other items do i need to carry to stay legal?
If youāre on a UK journey, all youād need is 1 X 2Kg dry powder fire extinguisher, with the date of the next examination/inspection marked, and it needs to be fitted with a seal and pin. If any of that is missing, you ā ā ā belongs to VOSA and you win a PG9 until itās sorted (You might also be prosecuted, because you were supposed to check that before you set-off, so the defence below wouldnāt be available to you) Then itās like LQs, you donāt need anything else.
If youāre doing an international journey (thatās when UK Regs donāt apply) you need the extinguisher as above
- a ātransport documentā containing at least:
the UN number, Proper Shipping Name, class and packing group; (Written in that order. )
the number size and type of packages;
the total Kgs/Lit of the load;
and the name(s) and address(es) of the consignor(s) and consignee(s)
The document doesnāt have to be too fancy, but the required info must be on it.

Slightly puzzled,GlesgaBill
Be puzzled no longer mate
Hereās two other tips for you:
- It is always your bossā job to tell you which Regs apply, to what extent, and when.
(= if in doubt at a customerās premises, phone your boss before setting off.) - UK law (this one includes Scotland) provides you with a defence if you can show that the offence is somebody elseās responsibility, ie, somebody lied to you, but there are several conditions to that.
