Where do I find a copy of the rules and regs you talk about? It would be informative to have a look through and could come in handy for later. I’ve googled for HSE and places but after checking through all the sites have never been able to get anything about what is legal and what isn’t.
TIA.
Now you’ve cracked it. Don’t put up with any nonsense from bosses chancing it. Good on ya!
Hollywood, when I say rules and regulations I meant the Tacho rules. That is what is relevent in this case regarding the taking of a daily rest period and what constitutes a bunk and what doesn’t. The tacho rules can be found online here.
As for the the nightheater thing there is no specific rule that says a night heater in a cab is a legal requirement but whether the H&S rules regarding an employers duty of care to employees cover that situation I have no idea. Maybe on the HSe site there is a facility for asking a question and that would maybe be the way to find out.
