[QUOTE="Scouser58, post: 811667, member: 103830"] [SIZE=3][/SIZE] [SIZE=5]Hello colmc555, Hello I have just read your post and I am totally horrified that your working conditions are so appalling. The one line about their company handbook over rules Health and Safety Laws??? This I found very surprising, as they set the law to protect the people in the work place. have you talked with them??? The lack of wet weather clothing, this comes under the PPE, = Personal Protective Equipment, and the waterproofs are the main part of out door bad weather requirements. So I would have thought that expecting you to work 'soaking wet' on many call outs is breaking HSE Laws, ie, they are Not looking after your Health (constant wet, then coldness), Safety (Protecting your body and are these waterproofs of the High Viz type ie Bright Yellow or Bright Orange?) You should not be working in the dark, poor light or on the motorways/main roads when not wearing this essential equipment?!? It would seem that the ballistic man in the office is putting profits and the healthy bottom line, ahead of employee Health ans Safety Laws. I wonder how ballistic he would be if one of the employees had a bad experience while out on a call out, sorting out a vehicle? what would he say/do then..... blame the member of staff for not doing the things, even when there is shortages and bad working conditions, who would keep stum then. Have you ever considered joining a union to protest you and your working conditions and to make management tow the HSE line? protect working hours and rest days? colmc we are all here to listen to you, all diabetics need to stay together, well for now ttfn from Karen.
