Taking photographs of names and addresses on labels is a breach of the data protection act
Quite odd really, because we've been told by our DOM to do precisely that. If a Tracked item has a specific Safeplace instruction on it, we are advised to take a photo of it to 'cover yourself'. The thinking, if indeed there is any, seems to go along these lines ; Since the instruction has been printed on the label by the sender, they have basically okayed it being left in that place. If it goes walkies, presumably it's their tough sh*t. Until it actually happens obviously and then the postie gets in the neck, as usual.
Now since when have we been provided with equipment to take photos ?
DOM advises this to 'cover yourself' ?
What a load of twaddle. If there's no answer card it, that's 'covering yourself'.

Your dom is wrong, data protection act applies. Also your DOM needs to learn about tracked items, they are the only ones that can have the safe place instructions printed on them, if he inputs the barcode into his tracked products track and trace he will see that the companies sending these items give rm the tracked information on that delivery label including name address and safe place instructions

I know DOM is wrong and clearly knows f*ck all about the product. I tend to ignore anything DOM says and just go about my work, mainly because whatever comes out of DOM's mouth is generally absolute nonsense.
People constantly phone ours manager because I don't leave packets in bins, sheds or garages! End of the day we deliver to the door! It's my job if something goes missing. If people want to have an official safeplace then that is fine. Just do it properly!
