So you'd prefer them to stop bothering then?lover wrote:thats a good, thought but not really answering the question.your answers is to wheather you should stay at home or not.you think we should stay at home incase we infect others who may be more fragile than ourselves and inadvertantly kill them.if i came back off my holiday with typhus and stayed at home can i get that discounted cos that sure as shite kills more people it infects.people are guilty of jumping on the old band wagon me thinks.
Typhus is only contagious enough to be considered a similar threat, in highly unsanitary conditions. Although obviously, it is a contagious desiese.
the point i am making is ,an illness is illness .all should be counted or none should be.the point isnt that you were ill with this or that,its that you were ill.
It depends on how contagious it is, in my opinion.
you cant bitch and moan that this systems in place.we all know why its there.but some of our number abused the system.using sickness for extra holiday.weve gone over this in an old thread before.we all know people that have done it and still do it.its our collective fault that this system,no matter how draconian,is in place.
Sadly, you're right about that. But why "tar us all with the same brush"?
Just because there's some, who're selfish, and irrisponsible enough. To abuse the system, to get time off when they want it. It doesn't mean that we're all like that!
any accident on company time doing company work should be discounted toward sick leave.i dont care if its 90percent your fault.you wouldnt be their to do it if not working.but you cant say," no that illness counts but that one doesnt".if someone caught swine flu three time in a year i think they would be lead swingers .but some propose it be discounted...doesnt anyone see how stupid an idea that is
clearly some union reps and health and safty reps,have nothing better to do with their work time than think of ways to feel hard done by.they are probably the same people who campaigned to get cycle helmets supplied because royal mail wouldnt.well i bet the men sacked for not wearing them love them
Perhaps we should stop encouraging Drivers to wear their Seatbelts?
And maybe, stop paying attention to Safe Docking Procedures?
If people spent a bit more time, paying attention to both their own, and other's safety. There'd be a lot less accidents in RM. Like the bloke who suffered a permanent back injury, because someone pulled a Trailer off the Bay, while he was driving into it, on his FLT!
I suggest you read this Poem. And hopefully learn something from it, before someone get's hurt by your attitude to H&S:
I chose to look the other way
I could have saved a life that day,
But I chose to look the other way.
It wasn't that I didn't care,
I had the time, and I was there.
But I didn't want to seem a fool,
Or argue over a safety rule.
I knew he'd done the job before,
If I called it wrong, he might get sore.
The chances didn't seem that bad,
I've done the same, he knew I had.
So I shook my head and walked on by,
He knew the risks as well as I.
He took the chance, I closed an eye,
And with that act, I let him die.
I could have saved a life that day,
But I chose to look the other way.
Now every time I see his wife,
I'll know I should have saved his life.
That guilt is something I must bear,
But it isn't something you need to share,
If you see a risk that others take,
That puts their health or life at stake.
The question asked, or thing you say,
Could help them live another day.
If you see a risk and walked away,
Then I hope you never have to say,
I could have saved a life that day,
But I chose to look the other way.
