Storms on Monday

[theargyspy]

In The great storm of 1987 I was nearly decapitated by a flying 'For Sale' sign that had uprooted in the wind and came flying down the
road whilst I was cycling out to my delivery, had a couple of near misses later when roof tiles came sliding off and landing where, seconds
before I had been stood. I used up a couple of my nine life's that day

Brightened up what would have been a otherwise dull day.

They've used this weather tool in my office before, but up to date only with snow.
However, even though the tool said it's OK to go out, my boss has overridden that decision and kept us in before.
So, it isn't the be all and end all of any decision.

Would it if said tile had embedded it's self in your head that day probably been a red letter day!

Well if he says he would do it ask him to make good on his word and you sit/stand/walk in the office all day like they do!

My fear is that you have to be injured before anyone in management takes the matter seriously.

NO if YOU deem your health and safety is at risk you can terminate the delivery you need to tell them but the phone lines may be down or the mobile masts if you feel it is not safe DON'T DO IT! It's your life at the end of the day.

Warning over severe storm risk

24 October 2013 - Unsettled weather is expected to continue over the next few days with further spells of heavy rain and strong winds for most parts, particularly over Saturday and Sunday.

Then as we move into Sunday night and Monday morning there is a risk a significant storm could develop close to the UK which has the potential to bring some exceptionally strong winds to parts of the country.

Currently the storm is most likely to impact the southern half of the UK, with the potential for gusts of more than 80mph - especially on exposed coasts in the south.

Winds of this strength could bring down trees or cause structural damage, potentially causing transport disruption or power cuts.

Eddy Carroll, Chief Forecaster at the Met Office, said: "This storm doesn't exist at the moment, but our forecasts models predict it is likely to develop in the west Atlantic on Saturday. Then it's likely to rapidly intensify just west of the UK late on Sunday before tracking across England and Wales early on Monday.

"There is still a chance this storm may take a more southerly track and miss the UK, bringing impacts elsewhere in northern Europe, but people should be aware there is a risk of severe weather and significant disruption. With that in mind, people should keep up to date with and act on the advice in our forecasts and warnings as the situation develops."



Normally Atlantic storms of this type develop much further to the west of the UK and are waning in strength by the time they reach the UK and Ireland.

This storm is more unusual, developing much closer to the UK and potentially tracking across the country while still in its most powerful phase. A strong jet stream and warm air close to the UK are both contributing to the development and strength of the storm.

If the storm arrives in line with current predictions, some areas could see some of their strongest winds for a number of years.

On the day of the '87 storm I recall arriving into work and being told that due to dangerous weather conditions there would be no delivery that day. This Monday I strongly suspect that the manager will advise us that deliveries will not be cancelled and absorption will go ahead as normal.

you could do that every day then

[clashcityrocker]

you could do that every day then

I do do it every day.
I am in charge of my H&S. If I encounter something on delivery I deem a problem, I avoid it.
If that means missing one, several or all of my delivery points, so be it.
Our H&S is paramount.
