The UK Freight Transport Association (FTA) has been successful in persuading the Department for Transport (DfT) to extend the existing exemption from the requirement for an emergency telephone number on diesel tanks until 30 June 2006. The exemption was due to have expired on 1 July 2005. ‘This represents an important cost saving to affected sectors, particularly the construction, plant and utilities sectors as otherwise there would have had to be 24-hour manned emergency telephone numbers provided either directly or via an agency commercial agreement with, for example, the National Chemical Emergency Centre,’ states the FTA. It should be noted, however, that the general exemption from ADR driver training for carriage of diesel ceases on 30 June. By that date, those carrying diesel in UN-approved drums or intermediate bulk containers (IBCs) in excess of 1,000 litres will have had to have their drivers trained and certificated on approved courses.
