old health and saftey have now stopped us wearing shorts at work !! i know its not a big thing once out of yard and all that but anyone else been stopped from wearing them ■■

2

Its going to save a lot of lives this rule. :unamused: :unamused:

They just make these rules up to ■■■■ folk off. No other reason what so ever.

3

yea i agree with the guys working in our mill but not us drivers !! its just incase we have a spillage on our legs lol been doing that since pubity !!

It goes without saying that it’s healthier to wear shorts when it’s hot, to get a bit of air around the old Betty Swallocks. They just make it up because they haven’t got proper jobs to do.

5

I got told off last year for wearing them I was gutted as I live in shorts and flip flops this time of year, anyway shorts banned on h & s grounds, what a lot of crap .

6

Covering arse again. Wearing shorts and going ■■■■■■■ has been banned from most building sites for years, its claimed Melanoma will be the next Asbestosis.

7

so how can these footballers play in the winter when its snowing and raining ■■ total rubbish told him want air con in me lorry now for H&S sake its to hot for me !!

8

I asked yesterday could I wear shorts, I was told I would be asked to leave the site and wouldn’t be allowed back as wearing shorts is against H&S rules of the company. Some prick actually gets paid £000’s to come up with this crap. Thank god for air con in the unit :grimacing: :grimacing:

Our firm actually supply shorts for us to wear in summer and 1 or 2 drivers wear them all year round .
Mad buggers.

postmen do and they are out in all weathers !!

I’ve brought myself some blue combat trousers from Costco and they convert into shorts by unzipping them a few inches above the knees and takes about one minute to do them back up again :wink: :sunglasses:

12

I reckon my shorts may make an appearance next week, i have sticky ■■■■■■■■■ syndrome with this weather! One of our drivers in warrington has worn shorts everyday since december 5 2011 he done it as a one pound bet to wear shorts for a year, crazy bassa :laughing:

We can’t wear shorts because we are handling roll cages and we might hurt ourselves.
