Let's start off with the important stuff - I wanted a brew as I had just
driven for 2 1/2 hours.

Once WE had signed in (that is myself and an apprentice) watched the
induction video, shown and signed our RAMS (risk assessment and method
statements) and had them countersigned by their H&S manager we were allowed
into the Colleagues Canteen for a brew. The Colleagues Canteens has notices
on the wall warning people about acceptable behavior (the stuff that normal
people do not need to be reminded of - such as it is wrong to abuse people
because of their sex, gender, colour, religion etc) with a reminder that
using social media for such abuse is also unacceptable against colleagues.

Other signs point out that the canteen is a self clean canteen and is
monitored by CCTV. Action will be taken against anyone who does not clean up
after themselves.

The tables in the canteen are littered with the weekly newsletter and this
gives a small report of last weeks absences (both long and short tem) and
says how much this has cost the firm. There is also a notice that as the
warmer weather is arriving then colleagues are reminded that absences will
be monitored to check that they do not coincide with the warmer weather
patterns.

A notice on the door as you leave the canteen into the work area warns you
to be careful about opening the door as colleague may be stood at the other
side of the door (some sort of window is needed IMHO).

The list goes on - such as you can post letters to "The Peoples Team" or
"The Voice team" etc depending what you would like to say.

On the plus side, WE broke 3 H&S rules and at least 8 of their R&Rs:-)

http://www.ftct.org.uk/a-visit-to-george-at-asda/

A few years ago we shot part of The Bill on a building site. The one where
the old Wimbledon Football Stadium was - now housing. So fairly large.

Had to spend an entire morning having an H&S lecture by their management.
Much of it about electrical safety.

We were shooting on a Sunday with the site closed down (as always on a
Sunday). No construction etc work, public or visitors allowed in. And as
usual in that sort of situation, all electrics supplied by our own
electricians who also supplied the generator.

Not borrowing as such but I have 3/4 filled a particularly anal

Might have glued it down too, can't remember.

Where I worked many decades ago the trick was to wait until someone had
left their fresh mug of tea/coffee, partially super glue the bottom of
the mug to the desk and then top it up with water so the tea/coffee was
just below the brim.

One forgetful colleague could never remember where he had left his tea
mainly because everyone else had got into the habit on seeing his
unattended mug would move it from the kitchen area to his desk, or visa
versa.

the mug to the desk and then top it up with water so the tea/coffee was
just below the brim.

Another thing you can do to a Mug is drill a small hole in the bottom
using a 1mm or similar sized drill. Then fill the hole with something
temperature sensitive like chocolate. A hot beverage will melt the
chocolate but there is usually enough time for the mug to reach the
place where the owner puts it down after which it leaks a tiny amount
and makes a constant small puddle on thier desk or whatever.

Let's start off with the important stuff - I wanted a brew as I had just
driven for 2 1/2 hours.

Once WE had signed in (that is myself and an apprentice) watched the
induction video, shown and signed our RAMS (risk assessment and method
statements) and had them countersigned by their H&S manager we were allowed
into the Colleagues Canteen for a brew. The Colleagues Canteens has notices
on the wall warning people about acceptable behavior (the stuff that normal
people do not need to be reminded of - such as it is wrong to abuse people
because of their sex, gender, colour, religion etc) with a reminder that
using social media for such abuse is also unacceptable against colleagues.

Other signs point out that the canteen is a self clean canteen and is
monitored by CCTV. Action will be taken against anyone who does not clean up
after themselves.

The tables in the canteen are littered with the weekly newsletter and this
gives a small report of last weeks absences (both long and short tem) and
says how much this has cost the firm. There is also a notice that as the
warmer weather is arriving then colleagues are reminded that absences will
be monitored to check that they do not coincide with the warmer weather
patterns.

A notice on the door as you leave the canteen into the work area warns you
to be careful about opening the door as colleague may be stood at the other
side of the door (some sort of window is needed IMHO).

The list goes on - such as you can post letters to "The Peoples Team" or
"The Voice team" etc depending what you would like to say.

On the plus side, WE broke 3 H&S rules and at least 8 of their R&Rs:-)


A French-owned multi-national technical services company, by any
chance?

I doubt there were any H&S notices at Matthew & sons

ASDA would be my guess too, from the word 'colleagues'..

I thought that had become fairly universally used in most large stores
these days.

I found a notice saying "any mugs left unwashed at 5 pm will be
smashed" quite effective.

But as it's ASDA there'll always be plenty of new ones out on the
shelves ...


A strange thing about mugs,if there is a cupboard full of coloured mugs
,and a spotless white one,it will be the first one grabbed,but very few
buy white mugs.

Are they where you go to eat the colleagues who didn't make the grade?
