Posted By clegg I need help with this problem please. The employer is going to insist that members are to have lunch in their vehicles. We are issued with a flask and have anti-bacterial wipes. We also have messrooms but the employer is insisting we stay out of the depots at lunchtime which is not paid for. I would appreciate any help on how they deal with this with their employer. We work for a Grounds Maintenance and Street cleaning service for a council. Any help would be greatly appreciated, many thanks.

Posted By Mark Eden I suggest you ask the employer to look at Workplace (Health, Safety & Welfare) Regulations 1992(SI 1992 No 3004). I would also suggest that you make an official complaint to the HSE if this ridiculous situation is not resolved in a sensible way.

Posted By Bruce If your management doesn't budge, then that is definetely when whistleblowing comes into its own. The HSE inspectors, I know, take a very dim view on the lack of welfare provisions, the results are very often insantaneous-----go for it
