If you are finding that a certain type of walk is causing you discomfort/pain where others aren't, are there any steps that can be taken?

I thought D2D's were only delivered to residential addresses and not commercial premises? At least that's what we were once told.Dantheunit wrote:Not really, but delivering d2d to shops can be awkwaurd.Dayman! wrote:If you are finding that a certain type of walk is causing you discomfort/pain where others aren't, are there any steps that can be taken?

Yep, or you can tell by the amount of each d2d you have. About 80 shops and offices on my walk so if I get 80 extra D2d's of 1 type I know they have to go everywhere. Dominoes pizza is 1 I get regularly, which is a bit embarrassing when I have to deliver one to another pizza chain on my walk.woody38 wrote:and me residential only for d to 2 in less told by manager that a certain contract is different.

Your weekly d2d control sheet will indicate opt outs, streets, residential, all delivery points etc. We get them for individual walk every Monday.

I want to transfer to your office. I'm lucky if I get my weekly sheet by Thursday, and more often than not on a Friday another set of d2ds with the mumbled phrase "there's these as well, filter the rest in next week will you Darwinsdad"Destiny wrote:Your weekly d2d control sheet will indicate opt outs, streets, residential, all delivery points etc. We get them for individual walk every Monday.

If GP agrees next step meeting with management.
Explain situation and ask for OHS referral.
If OHS agrees ask for suitable ring fenced duty.
After refusal get union involved.
After months of tea and biscuits and not much else return to step one and repeat.
After repeating 10 times take IHR.
good times, bad times you know I've had my share

Rep will push it at SI meeting for you. Took a while but that's a mangers job.Darwinsdad wrote:Destiny wrote:

Second bit, rep asap on it. They are time paid for as in that week nothing more. Not even a reasonable instruction for end of week regularly.

It actually tells you on the label attached to the box whether they are residential or all addresses.wacko74 wrote:

You know the label that tells you how much you are paid for that D2D contract. It always says 0.00p. So why do people think we still get paid for D2D?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

The above been done. Not as bad as it used to be. Now it's a case of date sheet recieved and date lino informed of missing contracts entered in comments box at the bottom by me. Any extras for that week left over. Lino/managers problem after that.Destiny wrote:Darwinsdad wrote:

Thanks, it's a niggling knee pain I can feel when doing a town/walking delivery but is fine on rurals.fishtank wrote:First step GP.Dayman! wrote:If you are finding that a certain type of walk is causing you discomfort/pain where others aren't, are there any steps that can be taken?

I've been to my gp this week and have been given a referral for physio.
Anyone else been down this route with knee issues?
