Hi Sunny,
I don't think anyone is arguing about Elf & Safety, but rather how in the case above, the cost to the taxpayer could be reduced by 25% by getting the driver to perform a task when onsite?
We are not told how much the 'driver' is paid compared to the other council staff so the savings may not be as high as 25%
the driver dosent have to get out of the truck, he is employed as a driver.
You see, that's the problem right there...I'd put it to you that he's employed as a 'council worker' and so should 'work' rather than sitting around waiting to work in short bursts
I dont care if it takes forty-four people to fill a pot-hole, just fill the bloody things. Where I live I see agents spending weeks widening footpaths (some that will never see a pair of feet) but the roads are still left with jacuzzi depth pot-holes for ever.
the problem here is not 1970's style spanish practices but 2000'nds style h&s leglislation enforced by overzealous former factory inspectors.
so would you think it ok that the guys filling the potholes also jumped in and drove the truck!......You see, that's the problem right there...I'd put it to you that he's employed as a 'council worker' and so should 'work' rather than sitting around waiting to work in short bursts.it's not 1970 anymore
