can anyone tell me if it is allowed for someone to deliver yorkies of mail to offices that do not have a nightshift present.
our nightshift have been doing this for some time now and in my oppinion it is only a matter of time before there is an accident of some sort

It must be ok mate as most offices do not have nights anymore as agreed with the CWU.At our place we are in our 2nd week of no nights and so far things seem ok but could change if there is some sort of incident,we shall have to wait and see.

On nights, when you're delivering mail to a DO that's closed, there should always be two people present for security and health and safety reasons. ie. a driver and a passenger. We recently had an accident at my office, when a driver, whilst unloading his 740, slipped and fell off the tailgate and seriously hurt himself.
