Just to clarify, the guy was picking up plant from a site adjacent to the road, this guy was reversing down the road to park up, so site safety rules (whilst sensible) woudln't apply I don't believe.

Strictly speaking maybe not, but if the site onfiguration meant that their driver had to perform said manouevre then a decent Contractor would take responsibility. Duty of care also applies. If you can be bothered I would suggest speaking to site manager and the companies Health and Safety manager.

They must work "if fitted", im presuming by you saying they didnt work that you saw that the trailer had some.

Not 100% on if they are compulsary but i cant recall seeing any trailers ive ever dealt with without them

Will check it out properly tommorow with our fleet knowitalls mate

Checked today mate,

They are not compulsary on trailers, or checked on MOT

But if they have them,they must work
