Inclement weather

Post by ashadd »

This might have been covered , but here goes, due to the thundery showers we have all been expiriencing, are we allowed to take shelter? I know we have been issued STORM PROOF JACKETS :left: but i was asked this by another postie. I personally just get on with it, but can we take cover in our untill it eases off. Just wondering. :cool

If I'm in or near the van when it starts then that's where I'll go/stay, you don't have to get soaked just because RM want to save on a bit of OT.

Personally I quite like the rain, always have. :nervous The streets tend to clear of idiots and folks wanting to see if they have mail from 3 streets away. And in some of the estates I deliver to, it washes away and keeps down the smell of dog shite.

If there is lightning about prior to leaving DO is it a health and safety issue and should managers provide guidance :whistle :whistle as to whether we should go out in it.
