Post by deggyg »

It's going to get hot, remember to drink plenty of water, even before you go out and keep hydrated as much as possible.
And me personally I will be binning the boil in the bag hi vis vest ☺

Don't forget to plan your walk so that you are delivering in the shade. :crazy:

"Try to avoid delivering during the Hottest part of the day", Well if RM hadn't moved everyone to later start times that may have been possible. However I'm sure we'll be taking a lovely relaxing siesta between 1100-1300 (possibly in some smelly rubbish strewn alleyway of noisy business park). :crazy:

Do Royal Mail provide suncream??



If I burn in the sun due to walking 5 and a half hours can I claim compensation because the company failed to provide adequate protection??


Its different when you are on holiday abroad because you are prepared, but not in this job and the British weather

I doubt they would, they might even be allowed to. What would happen if they did and someone ended up having a bad allergic reaction to something in the suncream?

They give you a hat.
They give you long sleeved shirts.
They tell you to take care.
They have covered their arses.
Never let the hand you hold, hold you down.

My office has it. A couple of bottles were sitting next to the sign in/out sheet when there was the odd couple of hot days a few weeks back.

Surprised!
