Due to the weather conditions it might be hard to complete your own walk never mind doing anything extra the first line of defence for your health and safety is yourself and I would refuse on those grounds

You're not seriously suggesting that Royal Mail are even remotely concerned about the Health & Safety of its employees?

TBT,
I knew that couldn't have been Moya's Chronicle warning us of the heat.

No, it's only the competition we've got to worry about.

I noticed that our health & safety reps are very quiet today

What's with all these leaflets from the union and Royal Mail saying look after yourself and basically when it's a day like to day to hide in the back of a cave

When they know very well a massive part of our work is between 12 and 3!

They continue to push for later start and finish times when everybody would prefer to start earlier and minimise work after midday...

I would love to see my DOM and his minions try a week of working at the pace required in this heat they really don't have a clue.

I always think how annoying it is having herpes turn up at stupid O'Clock and wonder why Royal Mail never used our ability to deliver earlier than the competition as a selling point?

If it was 35 degrees and a red health warning would be still be expected to deliver mail?

Later start and finish times for DOs will happen, the mail coming into MCs comes in later now so dispatch times from MCs to DOs are bound to be put back at somepoint
