摘要：	Anyone who has undergone an IRTE Workshop Accreditation audit will know that health and safety provisions are key. It is vital that vehicles are immobilised properly while technicians are at work, and sometimes the most obvious measures - engaging the parking brake and taking control of the keys - aren't practical, or enough on their own. There is, in fact, such a thing as a DVSA-approved wheel chock, so the first place to go is, naturally, to DVSA itself. The DVSA recommended specification is for wheel chocks used in authorised testing facilities (ATFs). It is used widely when carrying out ATF site checks. If the ATF is not using appropriate chocks, they can be suspended or have their ATF contract terminated. As DVSA points out, there is no such thing as a 'standard' wheel chock. It is the wheel chock which must comply with the standard. This was developed by DVSA health and safety and policy teams, with input from external stakeholders. As well as the trade unions, this included industry organisations such as the Road Haulage Association, Logistics UK, and the Garage Equipment Association.
