Yes Nice ans simple for once

Reportable,

In response to teh_boy's comment, the employee probably had to use considerable force to get the card into and through the letterbox. During this process, the force needed suddenly diminishes with the result that fingers used for the pushing motion tend to go through the letterbox. Many household letterboxes tend to have flaps with strong springs, sometimes with internal brushes as well, and thus seem to be designed and made to make posting items, especially flimsy items like leaflets and small envelopes, through them as awkward as possible, and certainly with little regard for anyone trying to insert items through them. For those who have to deal with awkward letter boxes and/or ones with dogs behind them, I understand that a short wooden ruler or similar item is very useful as an improvised implement for holding open spring loaded flaps and/or pushing items through letterboxes. If there's a dog behind the door, it can only try to grab the end of the implement - the poster's fingers remain safely outside the door. No doubt forum users involved with postal delivery workers will be able to expand on the above aspects.

Yes it becomes a RIDDOR on day 8. We have had similar with our inspectors being bit

Did he put anything on them? No, the dog liked them as they were

Hi, The post office have been using biros to open letter boxes for years. I used to work for a firm that delivered parcels and we had a nasty incident where a dog pushed passed the house owner then lunged at the person delivering the parcel. Bit him in the face. Nasty. I contacted the central post office at Liverpool and spoke to the H&S Officer, She let me have a copy of the Post Office H&S video. It contained five nine minute clips (one section included dog bites). We used the dog bites section and the section on delivering parcels as trained aids. In my experience, there are a lot of very good dvds produced by companies inhouse.
