            22.1  What to do if you come into contact with an Overhead Power Line (OHPL)


                      If part of a vehicle or load is in contact with an OHPL, you
                      should remain in the cab and inform the Distribution Network
                      Operator (DNO) immediately (If you are unsure of the number
                      then call the office on your mobile phone).
                      Warn others to stay away.
                      Try to drive clear. If this is not possible, and you need to leave
                      the vehicle to escape fire, JUMP CLEAR – do not dismount
                      by climbing down the steps and then hop away from the
                      vehicle.
                      Never try to disentangle equipment until the owner of the line
                      has confirmed that it has been de-energised and made safe.

                WARNING: Contact with an overhead power line may cause the power to ‘trip out’
                            temporarily and it may be re-energised automatically, without warning.


            23  Reversing Alarms

                 These alarms are fitted for your safety and protection. They must be switched on at all
                 times. Any damage or defects with the alarm system must be reported to your Transport
                 Manager immediately.

                    All reversing bleepers are to be working permanently. If your bleeper is not
                     working you must report it immediately to your manager and not use your
                    vehicle until it has been repaired, or you have permission from a company
                                                   Director to proceed.


            24  Vehicle Recording Cameras.

            The system being used by FTL Ltd currently have one forward facing recording camera on
            the vehicle.

            The footage from the system records continuously the camera views, G force, GPS location
            and selected vehicle control inputs onto a secure VDR HD recorder. This information can
            then be downloaded to provide driving behavioural observation and driver coaching and
            training, in addition to post incident reconstruction.

            You are asked not to touch or tamper with the cameras, if you wish to view the footage or
            make alterations to the camera you are asked to speak to the Transport/Fleet Manager or a
            company Director. Failure to do so could lead to disciplinary action being taken against you.


            24.1  Reasons for the use of CCTV and surveillance systems

              1.1.   We currently use CCTV and surveillance systems  around our site and on and
                     around vehicles as outlined below.  We  believe that such use is  necessary for
                     legitimate business purposes, including:
