Recommendation
IÉ-IM should review the IÉ Rule Book Section Q Part 1 and consider the inclusion for the coupling and un-coupling Trailers to/ from towing RRVs. The review should consider at a minimum, for coupling and uncoupling Trailers:
• The RRVO is responsible for the coupling/uncoupling procedures;
• Only trained and assessed competent RRVOs are allowed to undertake the coupling/ uncoupling procedures for Trailers;
• The RRVO must have been given permission from an PIC-RRV prior to undertaking coupling/ uncoupling procedures for Trailers;
• A PIC-RRV must be present and verify that the RRVO is carrying out the procedures correctly.
