Vehicle safety signs?

[Martin]

Most vans that carry dangerous substances on board (i.e LPG cylinders, Acidic liquids and chemicals etc) display the relevant triangular sign on their van. I carry a small butane gas ‘blowtorch’ and a spare cylinder on my van but as yet don’t have a warning label on display 😕

What I would like to know is: –

1) What are the legal implications for NOT having such a warning label on the vehicle in the first place. In the event of an accident the Fire & Rescue Service will surely want to know if there are gas cyclinders involved?

2) Where can you buy these labels anyway?

I used to get mine from CPC, get the biggest one you can, it stops the idiots driving right up your @rse if they think you might explode 😆

I’m not sure of the legal implications but it is a legal requirement if you carry any type of gas, even non flammable (refrigerant for instance).
