Proposal sought for worker radiation protection directive by Commission regarding risks from ionizing radiation exposure

Recommendation for a radiation safety directive for workers is sought by the Commission, aiming to guard labor against associated ionizing radiation hazards.

In the town of Zell, a truck with a trailer disregarded the traffic restriction for vehicles over 3.5 tonnes on Monday afternoon (01.09.), due to a bridge closure on the federal road B45 that has temporarily closed the town centre to such vehicles, except for loading and unloading vehicles.

The South Hessian Police Headquarters has confirmed that the truck in question failed to comply with the requirement to be equipped with a tachograph that complies with regulations. As a result, the police prohibited further travel for the vehicle and ordered a security deposit of 2500 euros for the potential fine procedure.

The original cargo had to be unloaded, and the driver now faces a fine of 130 euros and one point in Flensburg. It is important to note that cabotage, the practice of foreign transport companies carrying goods in domestic traffic, is permitted under certain conditions. However, in this case, it was a violation.

The South Hessian Police Headquarters will continue to monitor the traffic restriction for trucks in Zell to ensure compliance and maintain safety. The Press Office can be contacted at Klappacher Straße 14, 64285 Darmstadt, by telephone at 06151 / 969 - 13110 or mobile at 0172 / 309 7857. Alternatively, they can be reached centrally at 06151 / 969 - 13500 or via email at [email protected].

Despite extensive searches, the company that transported the disputed cargo on the described route on September 1st in connection with the violation of the truck restriction in Zell has not been explicitly identified in the provided results. It is crucial that transport companies comply with all regulations to maintain safety and fair competition in the industry.
