Laid in my BnB bed, starving. Burnt 3,000 calories today. No food at @westfordInn Thanks a packet. What happened to offer of help for the traveller (under own steam)? People shouldn’t be in customer service if they can’t smile. They should move over.

[Peter Minto @peterminto]

Cycled 50miles from Barra up to North Uist. Trying to reach @westfordInn for first food. Arrived 2.30, official meal time just. Miserable bastards wouldn’t even make me a sandwich.

@davidgcant Ok David, let’s broaden the scope then. When is the last time we as managers, trainers, consultants did ANYTHING about how to protect ourselves and others how to get to and from work when it is the greatest statistical fatal workplace accident? Are we not all missing the point?

[Peter Minto @peterminto]

@davidgcant I’m in H&S because I like to think I make a difference. But when is the last time anyone of us completed a toolbox talk about how to get to and from work safely (and even more so the others who’s life’s we risk along the way)?

[Peter Minto @peterminto]

@davidgcant Why do I get so angry when I see misplaced effort?

[Peter Minto @peterminto]

@davidgcant 10 times more people died from accidents on the roads (4 times more in road /work activities) than were killed at work in accidents. Why are we still talking about safety culture being so appalling when there are far, far juicer targets to aim at?

https://t.co/JJn6q7qD4s Thanks for keeping the wheels on, providing our CCNSG trainees with “awesome” food on this very cold day. Cheers.

[Peter Minto @peterminto]

@davidgcant Oh come now David, I thought you had studied human behaviour (in the workplace). And another reason I’m not certain I believe you, when I challenged you earlier in the year when Covid would be defeated you replied “Christmas”.

[Peter Minto @peterminto]

@davidgcant Yes but a condom protects the wearer and other(s), where’s a face mask protects others but not the wearer. It’s going to be a great altruistic chasm to cross for many people. The psychologists will have to come up with something special.... unless... we just make them mandatory.

[Peter Minto @peterminto]

@davidgcant And of course the big one(s); the conditions, influences and expectations placed on employees by employers. Let’s just call it created culture?

[Peter Minto @peterminto]

Does anyone know how I can get my Scottish passport before they close the border off? Just want to live somewhere where Coronavirus is receding. Fed up with this rubbish place. Fed up with mentality that everything is ok now.

[Peter Minto @peterminto]

@davidgcant Are they more dangerous or less dangerous than unregulated, uncoded, unqualified contributors of social media like me just now, I wonder?

@truemagic68 Erm..... because Gov’t diverted all ppe supplies. Because so much pressure put on NHS they were compelled to return infections people back to care homes. Erm because Gov’t was slow to react initially. No overall cohesion in social care sector. Endless list.

[Peter Minto @peterminto]

Just come across an electrical contractors return to work (COVID) Risk assessment. It did not consider the different range of vulnerabilities of their own staff, their families, or their clients. And.... it lists using ear defenders in the control measures! What a joke!
