ASDA UNION GMB UPDATE FOR HOT WEATHER
Just a few thoughts on what we can do to help one another in the heat:
-
Ensuring members are carrying resealable water bottles.
-
Agreeing extra breaks on behalf of Porters and Warehouse colleagues (see Hot Weather Guidance attached)
-
Porters and drivers must avoid direct sunlight for long periods. Hats, Lip Protector and Sunscreen should be available to them as PPE.
-
Remind drivers that entering properties is at their own discretion. Large blocks of flats may need to be avoided to prevent over exertion.
