## Description

The DfT would like to commission the production of a guidance document for recovery operators when dealing with electric vehicles\. This guidance document will clarify responsibilities between recovery operators and emergency services at the scene of a damaged EV as well as to make recommendations on training and personal protective equipment for recovery operators\. These guidelines are urgently needed as there is currently confusion around this matter, leading to unnecessary and potentially serious risks of injury to operators and the operation of the UK road network\.
