We have just had major changes to our delivery unit and all the rounds have been redone by geo route.the duty i now do is delivery only from 9:30- and on the busier days of the week can last untill 4:30 and this is in the summertime without M/R.Also there are loads of steps to many of the delivery point and its starting to do my knees in.is it right to have dutys this long and should there be some sort of health and safety check for things like amount of steps etc for new duties?

The future mate, think of it , your knees going and 50%of the other opgs struggling, cheaper to force you to leave or finish you on the sick than to make redundancies

Why aren't you taking your meal relief?

Start and finish time. So job properly and it won’t affect you. Less outdoor time due to cutting off

See your rep, your duty is f****d and needs looking at. In the meantime follow the overrunning duty procedure.

The current computer system used to determine & plan walk routes is broken & inaccurate. We should be waiting until we have full and accurate PDA & AHDC data before reworking any more walks.

So does anyone know if there is currently a maximum time you can be asked to be out walking each day, 7 hours seems crazy

This is the reason I turn down a full time contract repeatedly.

On 30 hrs, my maximum delivery will be 6 hrs (if they get someone to load van, do van checks etc for me).

I'm out 5 1/2 hrs most days as it is, and at 55 and with health issues, longer deliveries will be a mare.

Obviously the duty needs to be looked at, what are the official timings on it.
And have you a rep there, what has been said about it.
