… that bit is ■■■■■■■■. The regular drivers understand the operation, the risks involved in each component of a job, the likely impact upon operations of a change in policy and all have specific training relating to the tasks and procedures involved in their work on a day to day basis. The agency driver doesn’t know his arse from his elbow in comparison, he only knows how other people implement H+S and even then almost certainly doesn’t understand the reasons why. Agency man doesn’t understand the risks and so by definition has yet to assess them for himself, so any suggestions he may make are likely to be misdirected and ultimately unhelpful until he understands the context of the current rules and the implementation of them.
WOW, you’re so full of it. I bet you expect your drivers to bend over for you and take one for the team?

I assume I used too many big words for you, but in the vain hope that you did actually think about what I had posted for a few seconds before unleashing your immature knee-jerk reaction to your realisation of “Oh no, someone just handed my arse to me on a plate because I don’t know what I’m talking about, but I still don’t have the balls to admit that I made a mistake” then I refer you to the post I made further up the page, in relation to the same allegation by another muppet who had the same reaction as you.

OK, if you need to resort to name calling this is over. I’m not one of your minions who bend over when you say.

I think the basic answer is that the gaffer decided you were going to be trouble, and that is something he can do without!
i couldnt agree more, your an agency driver go in get the job done and go home again. its not your place to question the site rules.
when i go to a place of work i try to keep a lower profile the better, i dont contact or engage conversation with the office in question unless im really forced to, i like the out of sight out of mind way of working.
as an agency driver ive been to companies and seen other agency workers carrying on at office staff or trying to join the conversations like they actually work there… they normally come a cropper like you.

It’s just like surveyors standing in the middle of an empty field, miles from anything, all wearing their hard hats. If you were an agency worker employed to carry a shovel and theodolite for them, they wouldn’t appreciate you giving them logical reasons as to why hard hats were unnecessary and then arguing with them.

Thought you would have known this Harry!
" Allowing for the number of Earth-crossing asteroids – the kind that can hit us because their orbits around the Sun intersect ours – as well as how much damage they can do (which depends on their size), it’s been calculated that any person’s lifetime odds of being killed by an asteroid impact are about 1 in 700,000."
Now go stand in a field with the “Dunces” Hat on!

I was working for a big pallet company near coalville in Leicestershire, (SILVER UNITS AND TRAILERS) most of you will know by now who im on about.
What i asked was there a suggestion box as most or some big professional outfits have them.
What my suggestion was is why do you have to drive round the yard with you hazards lights on.
I was told to be seen, i then told this chap that hazards lights should only be used really when stationery as stated in the highway code.
I also pointed out that when you are following around the yard you can not see what the truck in front is going to do, a valid point as i thought as im Rospa (gold) bike and car trainer, and a fully qualified ADI driving instructor.
NOT SO BECAUSE IM A AGENCY WORKER IT WAS NICE AND BIG OF THEM TO SAY TO MY AGENCY NOT TO SEND ME THERE AGAIN, AND BAND ME FROM SITE…
A VALID POINT OR NOT…
so, has Pall-Ex told your agency to sack you from their books or just not to send you to their place again?
BIG DIFFERENCE
or was it that your spelling and grammar was crap on the suggestion form?
Well I just play by the rules of the company I get sent to(then decide if the wan+++s are worth goin back to)…but dont forget folks ■■■■■■■ rules can be a double -edged sword,paticularly when the ■■■■ hits the fan …and you point out the company policy…(when they forget it ,to get out of the crap)
