Trialling new dog warning cards.

And will there be a similar one for geese ?
They can be just as dangerous.

You're not going to find too many of them down The Broadway - sheep? - now that's a different matter

I'd like to see the card - who hasn't misdelivered a redirection or keepsafe card in the past - I can only suggest that it could cause some problems if a homeowner who has a dog getting a badly worded card in reference to his beloved pet.

If you were taking care then you wouldn't be misdelivering. I'm not saying that mistakes are not going to happen but a very visual, laminated and predominantly red card, with no stampage etc. posted through a letterbox is 100% postie error. If you flick through the mail at each delivery point as you are required to do then those errors should not be commonplace. If the hazard cards are placed into the RM2000 prior to bundling, then even with double slotted streets every card should be either the first or last item per delivery point.

Additionally as stated in both this and the previous referenced thread, this system has already been implemented in Wales and proved highly effective. This would suggest that misdeliveries did not prove to be a decisive factor in preventing the wider implementation of the system, (simply an instant barrier put up in an attempt to justify failure to accept change).

Not from the information that I got (from a H&S manager), just a reduction in reports because the DOM doesn't want to rock the boat.

Plus, been in my office for years, has had no effect because people don't have time and the managers never bothered to update the lists (not to mention undreds of dogs that come and go sometimes on a weekly basis).

As Teebs said, it's just a box ticking exercise that allows RM to look as if they are doing something and again something to blame us on.

Christ it must be wonderful to be perfect - whereas I with my many failings have misdelivered dozens of times - I may have been delivering mail but I was thinking of boning Kylie at the time. As for RM trials that have been reportedly succesful

Damn right - he says having met a few out in our "countries"

Why not just assume there is a rotweiller at each house. If you keep your fingers out of letterboxes, stay away from entering the back gardens, you have a reasonable chance of staying safe, without any guarantee. No one has the time to look at dog paws on a frame, read the walk logs, carry cards around, and the facts are we cannot be 100% honed into our jobs all the time, we all get carried away by other thoughts as we deliver, as we are basically doing a repetitive boring job.
