Met office just issued red alert for area. Can collection driver refuse to go out? Police advise to stay off roads and go home immediately.

You should be having risk assessment, I would guess tho depending where you are that you wouldn't be going out.

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.

All collections been cancelled. Was in preparation to managers playing awkward. May get reduced to amber tomorrow, but schemes will be bad again.

What is the process of risk assesment? Collection driver in question doesn't do a delivery, just a backshift collection.
