The company has retrofitted the mirrors to around 250 aggregate and asphalt trucks and is liaising with hauliers to ensure a quick turnaround.
Lafarge fleet operations manager Tony Plant said, “The process went really well and everyone bought into the idea because it is a step forward in terms of road safety. There have been issues in the past where accidents have occurred with pedestrians stepping out in front of a truck and the driver not being able to see them. This mirror eliminates that blind spot."
