two frames!!!

Post by harmony »

can anyone tell me the union's take on one postie with too much calls to be crammed in to a one' MAX' sized R2000 frame to simply have another frame close by to take the overflow from frame number one!!!! :crazy: :crazy:
At the moment the frame has quite a few addresses that are doubled up into one 20mill slot and with the new d2d agreement postie has to fit double the amount of d2d into one slot including the live mail...not practical whatsoever :arrrghhh :arrrghhh .
Is this the norm in other offices or is there agreements on this practice.
the last DOM tried bolting wings to the first 'MAX' frame but H&S stopped that. :arrrghhh :arrrghhh the dom has done sod all with the frames for weeks now the d2d agreement is here hes scratching his head!!! :arrrghhh

What about getting a circular frame with a revolving seat in the middle so you could spin round sorting your letters at the same time. If you could get your manager to insert the handle of a brush up your bottom,you could sweep the surrounding area at the same time! :nana

Was told this week under H&S this is not allowed, but they are only acting on the fittings affected by revision, get area H&S on to it.

The frame should only be 4 rows deep. The top row can only be used for packets etc but not a prepped row.

2 frames for my duty but I find it easier than trying to squeeze it all into 1 frame.

Has H&S ok these frames?
have you seen an 'ergonomists' report on these frames regarding 'MAXIMUM SIZES' of RM2000?
How do they measure prep rates?
how do you you get all the mail into a 'HCT'? :arrrghhh :arrrghhh

I don't use a HCT, I use a van, it's the only way to fit in the amount of mail :Very Happy

BTW I've used a HCT for a delivery and everything didn't even fit in (the frame wasn't even a full frame).
