What do we do with tissues that have unfortunately been disposed of in post boxes ?
If an employee accidentally touches a soiled tissue clean your hands immediately with hand wipes/sanitiser.
If you notice a tissue put on gloves (disposable impermeable gloves, (if you are allergic to latex check that the gloves are latex free)) Place soiled tissues into a polythene bag and put any customer mail that may have been contaminated into damaged customer mail bags.
Take the gloves off carefully avoiding touching the outside of the glove with your bare hands, clean hands immediately with wipes/sanitiser and place the gloves and used wipes in the rubbish bag and dispose of in a suitable rubbish bin.
Wash your hands with soap and water at the first opportunity. You should wash your hands every time you finish handling mail, and especially before you eat or drink or touch your face. Any cuts and grazes must be covered with waterproof dressings.

I Wrote-During Covid-Which is still relevant now
It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

No gloves. No bags. No sanitiser. Nowhere to wash hands on delivery / collection.
Apart from that, great advice.

I would suggest, in that situation, where you have no way of protecting your hands, you close the box back up and report it on PDA as a 'failed collection' and then explain why to your manager. I did this once when some oik had dumped a doggy poo bag in there.

Absolutely correct. And don't forget to follow the same advice if you seen any Covid-19 testing kits in the box and you haven't been issued the correct PPE to handle them.cobain20 wrote:I would suggest, in that situation, where you have no way of protecting your hands, you close the box back up and report it on PDA as a 'failed collection' and then explain why to your manager.
