It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

In the security rules it says you can leave the drivers window open as long as nothing is in the cab but those rules aren't the best, one of them says that you have to keep the van in sight at all timesPOSTMAN wrote:Beazer,you're playing with fire there!beazer wrote:You are allowed to leave the driver's window open aslong as notting is left in the van and it as been double lockedLounge Lizard wrote:Too hot without one, far too hot with one, especially in vans with no air conditioning and windows that aren't meant to be left open.pyphon wrote:yes you should be wearing it, what's your beef with not wearing it? hate been told how to prevent a accident?

Re: hi viz vest
Are we talking about out on collections or in the mailyard? I'm told that in our tiny PO mailyard all vehicles have to be locked and the drivers window can only be left open by about an inch. Believe or not a guvnor comes round to check on the vans - don't make any sense do it!
How much worse can it get? A LOT F****** WORSE !!!

Re: hi viz vest
No, why do you think you need one, the yard is a dangerous place which requires you to wear it hi-viz, if you don't want to wear one then don't, if you get disciplined then you won't have a leg to stand on (let alone have an accident).RTP wrote:Do you have a download or something to back this up?DGP1 wrote:Yes.

Re: hi viz vest
Only on specific times, getting in and out of the van in traffic, on a bike, in poor light and walking when there is no road but for walking along a footpath.RTP wrote:And what about out on delivery?
TBH I wear mine at all times because I can't be bothered taking it off and putting it back on time and time again, plus if anything happens then they can't try to conduct me for a minor infraction.

Re: hi viz vest
if you have been issued the new uniform, on the request sheet that you would have filled in it actually specifically states that the cagoule does not conform to the regulatory bsi and was not suitable as an alternative to a high vis jacketRTP wrote:Do you have a download or something to back this up?DGP1 wrote:Yes.

Re: hi viz vest
With regards to hot hi viz, why couldn't they make one like a mesh so that is would be much cooler in the summer or when working ?

Not really you can wear a coat or another layer under them.
