Very sad news. My prayers are with his family and friends.
I staged a Roger Moore impersonator festival in my local village. There were a lot of eyebrows raised, I can tell you.

I just hope the H&S policy concerning working in such hot weather may change because of this terrible tragic death. Then at least something may come out of this in the protection of others. :hmmmm

Is this a post revision office park and loop with vans and HCT's and was he provisioned with water and sunscreen and hat even so it gets bloody hot in a parked up van this time of year or pushing one of those heavy things around, I say whoever came up with this stupid system should face criminal investigations with this appalling tragedy. I wish his family all the best RIP Graham.

Depending on the autopsy results and the circumstances as to why he was actually out on delivery RM could face a charge of corporate manslaughter.

I hope so but sincerely doubt it as management and the culture of this country think we are as workers expendable!.

Lincoln appears to be post revision, it's on the failed revision list. No they won't have provided sunscreen. I doubt they provided a hat as he wasn't expecting to go out. As for water, yes there are facilities in Lincoln for water fountains but they have been known to run out and not get restocked.

Still the facts are still not in yet folks.
Run, rabbit run. Dig that hole, forget the sun.
And when at last the work is done. Don't sit down, it's time to dig another one
