Firstly I do not know how long your current/present DOM has been in situ, but secondly and more importantly, what I do know is that as far back as 2006 and with particular regards to ERICA both Royal Mail Group and CWU were firmly committed to working jointly on this project (meaning ERICA) and that Royal Mail agreed to pro-actively involve our safety representatives (CWU ASR's) in the new process and procedure. To that end all ASR's were to have been included in the ERICA Management training programme and a number of ASR's would be involved in the forthcoming (referring to 2006) "Usability" testing, prior to roll-out.Thunderthighs wrote:Well, I think I could be on a winner, but think reason for bringing someone else in is, current/present DOM doesn't know the procedure, lol!
But, here's a good 'un: You can report AOD to HSE/Riddor if you're off for 3 or more days, or...if you're regular duties are altered to allow for an injury.
So, DOM's reply: "As you're a relief, you don't have "regular" duties, so this rule shouldn't count." ???????????????????
This means that ALL the newer/older reliefs would come under this DOM's understanding/interpretation of the rules. On Plant DOM that is!
I'm amazed that many other DOM's aren't off sick with bad backs...due to all the goalposts they move!!!
Anyway, hoping to put the Erica report in asap.
From that statement one concluded that within Royal Mail there existed (since late 2006) an ERICA Management training programme and that all CWU ASR's were also to be trained in it's use. Therefore, one would have expected that any DOM in charge of an office prior to or since 2006 would have been fully trained in it's usage in line with the said ERICA Management training programme.
