how unsafe!
« on: April 20, 2006, 03:43:53 pm »
hi all

i was on my way to a job yesterday when i saw a wfper .. which you dont see very often round here .. more trad wc around .. so thought i would peek a look at his setup...........anyway his van doors were open .. to my amazement he had a few large 200ltr water butts in the back upright not properly restrained . think of what would happen in a accident .. since water buts are not for carrying in transit.

its a joke really he was cleaning a large nursing home with loads of water about on the floor and trolleys and hose all over . no signs or beacons.

probably was a cowboy before when on ladders.

i know we have to all start somewhere . but this was a joke

If a job's worth doing, it's worth doing well.

IV been using two 200lt buts although they are well strapped in.

Got to be safer than a un baffled 1000lt container that many seem to use.

it wasn’t my van that you were looking at though I don’t have any nursing homes on my round. :(

Must remember to keep my van doors shut I don’t want to encourage any nosey parkers ;D
