Conduct code van delivery

Post by saintrat2001 »

Hi can anyone help nearly 4 weeks ago I was parked on a 30% hill with wheels turned correct way and handbrake on when I was clipped by another (white van driver ) pushing my van into a car causing light damage to car and door damage to my van (vw hire ) driver didn't stop was told by line manager to complete delivery then hour later to report back to do office as suspended from driving
Since then I had visit by area safety manager and a fact finding on the Tue after but still not driving or heard anything and union rep was present at fact finding

BS but you should have reported it to 5-0 as a hit and run and had the witness statements taken by them, sod RM they just want a name on a piece of paper to blame.

of course, thats why we have all these health and safety rules that the managers dont actually like us using as it takes too long, but when something does go wrong its then easy for RM to point the finger of blame.
