The new RM Delivery Equipment Security Procedure is far more lax than it ever was.

You can even leave mail in the front of a van now for 10 minutes

Really?

Where does it say this fish?

• Only carry a small amount of mail in the cab using a single MB44 pouch at any one time
• Secure the MB44 pouch to the front passenger seat and ensure the pouch flap remains closed at all times when the vehicle is moving Only leave an MB44 pouch containing mail in the cab of an unattended vehicle for NO longer than 10 minutes. Every effort should be made to make this occurrence an exception and not the norm

From your last post on page 1 strawbs you're going to have to do something! And the sooner the better!! You could even be 'grassed' from here!!
Whether your P&L partner's your best buddy or an absolute b*st*rd to all and sundry makes no difference.. ..He's acting like a 1st Class Tw*t..
..When, not If, it goes t*ts-up for him you and your working practises are going to be called into question too..
..You're not working to be a 'nice-guy' you're working to provide for you and yours..

I fully appreciate you say he is unapproachable but I really do think you need to warn him of his work methods. If he refuses to listen then that's his issue, not yours.

Maybe also have a chat with your union rep, depending of course what type of person he/she is. You don't want the rep running straight to sir.

If nothing else you will have a clear conscience when the brown stuff hits the fan as it will one day.
