Not sure how that one works, I'm sure they'd complain if they had a manager barking at them all day and treating them like kids telling them off for not wearing a mask. People really need to take self responsibility at times.

There's also nothing about buses not being cleaned properly just the canteen and that some drivers have been disiplined for forcing people to wear a mask who have complained to Arriva - hidden disabilities and a bus driver being a twat sounds the summary here.

Funny how there's been no mention from any unions as they love stuff like this.

There is a legal obligation on the employer: "It is an employer's duty to protect the health, safety and welfare of their employees and other people who might be affected by their business. Employers must do whatever is reasonably practicable to achieve this."

Workers also have legal obligations to ensure their own duty of care and that that of others affected by their actions at work. Workers must cooperate with the employer to meet these legal requirements but the primary responsibility for managing health and safety is down to the employer. There should have been a risk assessment completed in consultation with employees (usually through a union appointed safety rep), so everyone should be aware of the risks and control measures put in place.

The site that is reportedly not following the rules should have a competent person who is responsible for health and safety. They should be named on the health and safety law poster, which the Health and Safety Information for Employees Regulations 1989 mandates should be visible. If workers aren't following the rules, then it should have been nipped in the bud straight away. Its a tiny office space not an 12 story building.

And finally, fancy the big bad unions complaining about Health and Safety [emoji849] its worth reading up the history of why it exists and why its so important.
