Should we be able too ?
As you know at the moment i am a dustman working for basildon council, today we have had a plesent visit from the top guy in health and safety.
Under the health and saftey guideline it is recomended that no one rides the outside of the lorry while it is in motion i.e sitting on the back or hanging onto the sides.
Now as dustmen sometimes we go from pile to pile and sometimes its too far to walk or is uphill and to save time we just jump on the sides because it is utterly pointless getting in and getting out again as it takes too long.
Now like 95% of my fellow dustmen we would all be willing to sign a disclaimer stateing if we fell off the back or side then it was down to us the company was not at fault ect ect.
Should we be allowed to ride on the sides and rear?
