@MCRMetrolink please remind your drivers that when pulling a double they MUST NOT stop with any part of their vehicle obstructing a zebra crossing, as per legislation. Piccadilly Gardens, 2 mins ago.
@manairport Given that our plane was parked so far down the ramp I had to check if it was in Cheshire or Manchester, and we were given a tour of terminals 1 & 3 in the bus, it's not like there was a sudden influx - it was very well staggered. Negates the benefits of arriving on 05...
Holiday to Ibiza - all of check-in, security, passport out, passport in, etc - the only queue longer than 3 mins was @manairport arrival passport control, which took over 15 mins (Spain, for comparison, was 2 minutes).
@sainsburys Or communicated at all. Where on the store door or wall did it say it was closed at all, let alone why? Also, like many others, I didn't give a fig about one football match. Like many, I wanted to obtain some groceries to make my evening meal.
@StagecoachGM The bus highlighted, that I was sat on, was showing in the correct location, but identifying as a 101. I was on, and purchased a ticket for, the 142.
@dtm4729@SignalstoDanger Or you could stall on a user worked crossing, and have even less notice a train is coming. Which is even more dangerous.
Risk is relative.
@dtm4729@SignalstoDanger You could also stall on an automatic full barrier crossing, which is more dangerous, as you're then trapped between the barriers.
@dtm4729@SignalstoDanger 27s for fastest train, 3s amber light, so 24s maximum time to escape, even if you "chance it" and drive on before barriers start to move, still 16s to escape. And as the exit side isn't barreried, then easy to escape off the railway. So, no, you wouldn't be toast.
@SignalstoDanger The @My_Metro has 5 AOCRs - no need to travel as far North as remote NE Scotland to see one, there are several in the urban Newcastle/Gateshead area!
@VhIstvan @FigenMurray Safety has 0 to do with this. The training is for everyone who may have a responsibility to do something in the event of a terrorist attack. Which, without clarification, is almost every worker (which specifically includes volunteers).
@Strangeway5_ @FigenMurray As for safeguarding.... Well... If that could be appropriately tightened up, people adequately trained, and more rules in place for organisations to have a duty to be vigilant and act, then perhaps more abuse would be stopped sooner? Question is how to achieve that aim!
@Strangeway5_ @FigenMurray Fire marshal isn't actually prescribed by RR(FS)O2005, despite what some training companies will tell you!
First aid training is also not prescribed by FAR1981.
COSHHR2002 doesn't mandate a specific way of achieving compliance, nor have prescribed forms.
@Strangeway5_ @FigenMurray 100% agree there. It is a risk, and it should be considered. With appropriate and relevant controls put in place.
This was always going to be a difficult one to get right, so it'll be interesting to see what the approved act turns out as...
@Strangeway5_ @FigenMurray I agree with the principles. And the notion of needing to incorporate terrorism (or, rather, hostile activity, if we approach it properly) into the risk assessment process. But the idea of prescriptive forms and mandated ways of complying - not always the best solution...
@Strangeway5_ @FigenMurray It's not. And it is.
And I agree, they are. But we've had plans in place for several years (pre-MA), and they're reviewed before each event & tweaked if needed.
But having to comply in a certain way is a very blunt tool which isn't always a good fit for the situation...
