In this case Terry I agree with you 100%.I’ve always worked things my way and if any Co wants to inundate me with their petty rules and regs then I’ll happily use THEIR rules as a big stick to beat them with!
Fine, but don’t use taxpayers money to beat your employer with.
You are just doing us all out of pocket in the end.

Spot on if its such a problem couldnt each store be left a step ladder or one of them staircases on wheels you see in b&q
I cant believe what utter ■■■■■ im reading here thank god i have a fleet of proper drivers what a disgrace
Unfortunately this is what the blame culture has done, everyone seems to want to blame others for there own misfortune, this is a by-product of the compensation culture.
It has little to do with health and safety it’s more an ■■■ covering exercise as long as the procedures and relevant paperwork is in place nobody gives a ■■■■.
Most people take a common sense approach, I have many tales some even more ridiculous than my o.p the work shy and the incompetent love h+s it can easily be used to cover most work dodging situations.
If it come to working for this kind of firm id rather send the licence back. Id be disgusted with myself for wasting the budget of the emergencey services.

You don’t waste any budget. They invoice the company for calling them out in a case like this!!!
A good friend of mine works for a well known supermarket firm out of magor and some of the stories he’s told me beggars belief!!
Would make an interesting story for the papers.
How did the fire brigade get him down? Did they start the engine or use a ladder? Of theu used a ladder then why didn’t the driver complain he’d not been trained to use a ladder?

They used the firemans lift and slung him over their shoulder!

I’m not condoning the fire brigade being called out, I’d have personally found a way to get down of my own accord. But if your saying thank god you have a “fleet of proper drivers” would you be paying them full sick pay for months if they were off with a broken ankle after jumping from a raised tail lift??
Just curious as judging by your post your a transport manager at the very minimum
A good thing that it didn’t happen today, as the fire brigade are on strike he could have been stuck there until tuesday!

Probably just reached up and said “Here, take my hand and step down…”

Im sure that would comfort someones family if they was trapped and injured in a real emergencey. Thats why they are called the emergency services not the lets pander to a knobhead service
would anyone actually know how the fire brigade actually rescued the embarrassment to our profession and got him all the way down from the towering tail lift?..there has to be something fundamentally wrong with this country when the firemen couldn’t take him down,then round the back of the fire engine and proceed to systematically kick his plums off…oh the good old days when a good night out me and awakening in police custody covered in urine and vomit,with the promise of a good kicking along with your roll and sausage in the morning.
did a fire engine go to the ‘scene’■■ 
or was it just someone in one of the 4x4’ or vans you see sometimes? surely they wouldn’t send out a crew of firefighters knowing it was just a guy in the back of a lorry■■?
suppose it’s because Tesco is so big that they’ve had to put these kind of rules in place. with the amount of people they employ they must get claims all the time
f f f fff fetch a ladder Granville

They would have sent a complete crew because there may have been a genuine emergency they would have to travel to instead of dealing with the thumb sucking excuse of a man employed by tesco.
Now (IT) is a trapeze artist on his/her or whatever day’s off because of the thrill. (You learn something new every day). EVOLUTION = freedom.

Has anyone thought, the driver could have been 28 stone and may have damaged the pavement of the store when he landed so he needed the firemen to provide a big air bag to land on… I honestly thought this thread was a wind up,
