Delivery Duty Design Principles:Doc

Post by POSTMAN »

This document sets out the key design principles and factors that need to be considered when constructing delivery duties as part of bundled delivery revisions from January 2010. The effect of a bundled revision should be to reduce indoor workload (walk sequencing) and optimise the outdoor design (delivery methods). For some deliveries this will also mean a change to delivery spans. Following these principles will ensure that duties are both safe and sustainable and also meet our operational and commercial needs.

Instead Royal Mail confirmed to the union they want agreements which both sides believe are fair and have both got confidence in..

Not a bad start.

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.

Delivery Method
Max Delivery Span (Hrs)* Notes
Foot with Pouch on shoulder...........3.5 Reduce by 0.5 for multiple hills/stairs & consider additional breaks. Adhere to reduced weights as specified in the risk assessment manual
Cycle......................................4.0...Can increase to 5.0 if travel out/back is by vehicle
High Capacity Trolley ...................5.0...Can increase to 5.5 if travel out/back is by vehicle
Electric trolley............................3.5...Span is restricted due to use on steep terrain
Shared delivery with light weight trolley..6.0
Shared delivery with MB43 mini pouches (8kg)........3.5
Vehicle (Rural/Bulk)......................7.5 Effectively this is a full duty when travel is included

Now there are some scary numbers
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

For part time work involving only delivery the length of time on delivery can be increased by about 1 hour for trolley and cycle deliveries providing they are not on steep hills or stairs. For part-time working including light indoor work the delivery span could be increased by around 30mins for cycle and trolley deliveries provided they are not on steep hills or stairs

Screw the part-timers again. :no no

That however is going to cheer up some of my colleagues.
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

I would suspect the use of Pouch on shoulder will be limited to situations where NO other delivery method is possible.
