Van Sharing

Should those that insist on sharing a van, despite everything, be reported and disciplined?

It is a sackable offence.

I strongly believe in keeping my eyes on my own plate

But if a manager does their own investigation and catches a pair van sharing then thats the risk and gamble the pairing took

van sharing at this time is a lot worse than using your own car for deliveries in my opinion at the minute . I personally have seen it go on but it goes against my instinct to grass anyone up its up to managers to look out for this

There will be quite a few vans with wet passenger footwells when it's raining

It was My understanding the office DOM gets the bollocking If people van share and a area manager learns of it.

I thought this until 2 were caught at my office and pretty much nothing happened in the end just threats

People caught can sharing at my office and nothing happened - I believe it’s still going on which management and union know about but not interested!

Van sharing is no more risky then going to the shops it never has been now we have to wear face coverings so why not share vans using them

This^^^ If Your going to catch it it will be from someone in office building not in the van with masks on windows down and in midsummer

Surely Tesco Waitrose and numerous other private companies I've seen 2 in a van without even any PPE have the same liability?

Quite probably but Tesco and Waitrose won't pay RM's legal bills/fines/compensation for not ensuring their employees safety will they?

What I'm saying is that in my opinion there's more behind the companies decision to not van share than legal liability. If they really wanted/needed to I'm sure they would find a way £££
