HGV servicing

A user has recently posted a question on http://www.healthandsafetyprofessional.co.uk/ asking about servicing HGV which carry fuels such as petrol and kerosine.

What are the minimum requirements before such a vehicle can be worked upon in a normal HGV workshop, with regards the use of electrically powered tools, ie can they be used in the same area, on non-ADR vehicles whilst the ADR vehicle is being serviced? Is there a requirement for intrinsically safe lighting?
