SAFETY SCREENS - STAY SAFE


• Prior to installing a safety screen, drivers should contact their licensing authority to ensure that the screen and installation will meet their requirements. Vehicle proprietors are expected to provide evidence that their proposed screen systems are safe and meet all relevant requirements


Surely, a simpler way to achieve this would be to have an approved list of screens which are allowed, then an officer’s time taken to investigate the supplier each time would be great- ly reduced. This would not only prove to be a far more efficient method, but also ensure that any screens installed do fully satis- fy or exceed the requirements as listed above.


It has been suggested that the installation of a screen could result in MoT failure due to restricting driver seat adjustment.


Some screens may in fact restrict driver seat movement. We sur- veyed a panel of MoT testers; their professional view is that as part of the MoT/compliance test, the driver’s seat movement or adjustment must not be restricted in any way. If the fitting of any after market product in any way affects (blocks or impedes) the movement of the driver’s seat, this would indeed constitute MoT failure and may also affect councils’ taxi compliance tests.


In these unprecedented times and the urgent need for tempo- rary screens to be installed, we suggest that this issue is addressed and leniency given on this point by the Ministry of Transport who dictate the criteria of the MOT testers.


However, it is also imperative to remember that the installation of a screen will only offer protection if you also:


1. Adhere to a strict and regular cleaning regime 2. Wear a face mask when passengers are in the vehicle 3. Encourage passengers to also wear a face mask 4. If possible try to avoid front seat use 5. Keep windows open a little to allow for a fresh flow of air 6. Turn air recycling off - heating and air conditioning should use external air


7. Limit handling of cash by utilising contactless card payments


Unfortunately, there is currently no ideal product or magic solu- tion to guarantee complete protection for anyone.


In order to trade, all businesses are having to adapt and our industry is no different.


We must stress that we must be given the opportunity to protect our drivers and as such reassure the UK public that our trade is a professional, viable and safe form of transportation.


We are calling on the Government and all licensing authorities to step up and help our industry NOW…. Before it is too late!!


THIS IS A PUBLIC HEALTH MATTER


AND MUST BE ADDRESSED BY GOVERNMENT RIGHT HERE – RIGHT NOW!
