I have no idea if it would be safer in army hands or not ,i would imagine the same regulations apply and would be adhered to .My point about H&S is that there should be no need to strike over this as the rules are hard and fast and breaches would leave companies and drivers open to prosecution .If drivers are saying that the rules need changing to make the jobe safer for them and the public then it should automatically be looked at by those in charge of H&S .If they are saying that contract drivers/agency drivers are breaching H&S then that needs sorting out at the highest level because they should be using the same H&S rules as all other drivers
