It is usual to charge patients for the emergency supply. This will comprise the cost of the medication (possibly with a mark-up), plus a dispensing fee and VAT. The charge is there to cover the cost of the medication because, unlike emergency supply at the request of a practitioner, emergency supply at the request of a patient will not involve the subsequent supply of a prescription form. 

In the example given above a better solution might be to provide easy access to charging stations, use a longer life battery, a lower power consumption device or have a supply of ready-charged emergency batteries available. Administrative controls should only be the option of choice when they complement more effective strategies or when all other realistic means of control have been exhausted. 

Instruct the driver to exit the cab, disconnect both air lines and lay them down on the frame. (Inform the driver that the emergency line is charged and to be careful when separating it from the trailer.) After the lines are disconnected, listen for and ensure that the air stops escaping from the emergency/supply line. Verify the tractors air pressure. 

In the last few years, the need for emergency supplies during a.c. supply failure has been considerably extended in electronics and security equipment. Sealed nickel-cadmium batteries are kept on constant charge when the a.c. supply is present and incorporated in utilization circuits, which must continue to function during a.c. supply failure. Sealed nickel-cadmium batteries are particularly suited for these applications by reason of their ability to accept overcharge, their freedom from maintenance and their reliability. 

A schematic circuit for an emergency power supply is shown in Fig. 1.5. The load is fed directly from the mains supply (which also float charges the battery), but in the event of mains failure, the load is automatically switched to the inverter by the mains monitoring system.
