Hi,
Could anyone tell me if there is a requirement by law to have fire extinguisers fitted in cabs for trucks on NON ADR work. (I.E a haulier that does not ever carry out ADR, nor are licenced for ADR)
Cheers

I think it’s only passenger carrying vehicles that have any requirement outside ADR so not needed in a ‘normal’ truck. If fitted, it should be serviceable.
If none ADR vehicles were legally required to carry fire extinguishers, three quarters of the lorries in the UK would be braking the law ![]()
NO, as far as I’m aware there’s no legal requirement for lorries to carry fire extinguishers in the UK if they don’t carry hazardous goods.
No, it’s not a requirement but if they are fitted then that must be in full working order and serviced/replaced every 12 months.

Spot on ![]()
It’s not a legal requirement - I currently work for a company that decided to remove them as it was cheaper than keeping them serviceable :S
