Do You Have To Wear A Hi-Vis Vest On Delivery?

[Syze]

Of course they breathe, they are loose fitting, have gaping holes for sleeves, a drop neck and placed over your eyes you can see well enough to negotiate a pavement. (although I wouldn't recommend it, its against Health & Safety)

If I had my way, the lads caught for a first offence of failing to wear one would be provided with a fluorescent pink one, to complement the trolley which they also refuse to use.

Why? I think most would agree they are unnecessary when out on a walk...

The people who agree with that are are blind or ignorant, the figures agree that the florescent colour alerts oncoming vehicles during daylight hours and the banding during low light. Over the period since their introduction accidents have been reduced and no increases have been noted of wearers suffering medically as a result of over heating.

The Download Article was very interesting, I especially liked the bit about Managers who are on a cycle duty should wear a Helmet! Never seen one of the lazy bastards on a bike.

If you find the Hi-Vis a bit Hot stop doing the zip up!

I know this is a discussion Forum, and everyone's entitled to their point of view, but I think some people are just looking for something to get wound up about. FFS lads just put the kit on and get on with the job. I'd be more upset about moving to a 09.30 start and having a 5 hour delivery with a Collection tacked on the end!

You would be better googling : Green cross code,that has certainly saved more people than hi-vis vests.I am not blind or ignorant I can see when it is safe to cross the road.

the green cross code, that takes me back . common sense has gone out of the window. best just wear the damn thing all the time. no doubt someone will be on a conduct for not wearing one on delivery very soon

You must be a DOM. If not you'd make a great one...

Just because someone has a different viewpoint or political position to you, it does not mean that they are a 'Manager' or a 'Union fanatic', any posts making such assumptions or generalisations will be pulled or amended and the poster warned

So it's an insult to give my viewpoint?

i speak from experience having worn them all day and they are noticeably/ clammy humid. your rm shirt is cotton not nylon for a reason.
none of this is a problem on cold dark winter mornings
but then thats not what being disputed.

I see no mention of me saying it was an insult - I just pointed out the rules you agreed to and in this case broke. BTW what does calling someone a Manager/DOM actually add to the debate.....

If it's not an insult what's the problem? It could have been a compliment. Maybe I just wanted to compliment a colleague.

EDIT: What's the green all about?

You can manipulate figures to mean anything,and just because someone doesn't agree with your opinion doesn't make them blind or ignorant.
