New issue RM masks.

Post by employee1 »

The new masks being issued to us, supposedly to protect us in some way from the threat of covid, are beautifully printed with the RM logo.
They have NO protective function or certification level.
In fact on the certification, it suggests the 'application' as, 'for fashion, dress up, party'.
'specification' is listed as 15x10cm.

A properly certified protective mask will have a protection level marked on it... ie. KN95 and EN number.

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
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.
