Don't sweat it weather if you've survived for a week without being suspended then it's pretty likely it'll be a smacked wrist - you did right to inform the DOM and he did right to warn the other staff. There's little point in putting your staff in jeopardy if you can avoid it.
Drivel, do not inform your dom, he could not care less about you or any one else. Whenever this has happened to me[ regularly due to what I deliver] I bell a couple of the lads and tell them to spread the word,

Typical.
We have countless security/H&S problems with our site which is well known about, but because it would cost money to rectify, H&S and senior management have all turned a blind-eye.

A bit like using heavy bags on shoulders rather than using trolleys i guess, as on shoulder is often quicker/solves cut offs for van shares especially.


Thinking about it - hava any posties been repremanded by IB for not using correct equipment ie trolleys?

Think we have 6 between 160 so roughly 1/25, they are the new recruits, some former trainers lost the money because they didn't apply for the "new and more involved position" though not being fully utilised at the moment; think managers are a little bit concerned that their position could be usurped.

Some years back a colleague of mine was being watched whilst on delivery. They ( the IB )were parked up by a village primary school, at around 8.30am. A concerned resident phoned the police, and the IB had to explain themselves. Red faces all round.

Thanks TrueBlueTerrier.

IB = Investigation Branch - The RM police. (oldest investigation branch in the world)

Its name has changed over the years but this is the usual name for them. They are also known as Security Desk, POIB, etc
TBT,
Can you give any references to back up the claim to it being the oldest investigation branch in the world ?
