Health and Safety

Post by celerycelery »

These 3 words seem to crop up alot in this new agreement. Doesnt seem to cover the fact that we will be out for longers hours in the summer (high temperatures, need regular drinks, need toilet stops) and in the winter(freezing temperatures, need to shelter sometimes, need toilet stops). Imagine being out in the sun from say 10.30am till 15.30pm in the summer. Should change the saying from only mad dogs and englishmen go out in the midday sun to only mad dogs and posties go out in the midday sun. :roll:
