Posted By JEFFREY SMITH If it is just moving the cash in bags etc, manual handling If looking at the effect of dermatitis (spelling, sorry) then slightly more specialist. Or are you looking at something completely different?

Posted By Paul Leadbetter Sian You should vary the routine so that cash isn't taken to the bank at the same time (and preferably not on the same day - although you it is not a good idea to keep large amounts on the premises overnight). Large amounts should be taken by car to the front of the bank to minimise the risk of robbery. If the carrier is attacked, they should not resist but hand over the money to avoid personal injury.

Posted By lewes This reminds me of when I used to work for a well known frozen food outlet about 12 years ago. Two of us (usually around 17/18yrs old) would once a week wander down to the post office with £600 in notes. Then on our return we would be laden with several bags of coins and if need be would pop into W H smiths for a gander at the magazines or get some lunch etc. We never really thought of the risks
