Testing kits

Post by vinny »

Hi , is everyone happy about collecting these used testing kits , we have cheap gloves and today I was given plastic bags that all had holes in and they expect me to fish them out of a post box full of letters ! It’s a complete shambles and dangerous they should be bagged up like special delivery mail cable tied , what is my position if I don’t what to do this collection as I don’t feel safe?? Collections is a part of my duty not overtime

There's a thread already open about this:

If you don't feel safe, or have the proper equipment to deal with, call your manager and inform them they will have to get someone else to collect.(maybe them :chuckle )
