Can't get Uber this...

[old man emu]

Trawling through the Work, Health and Safety Regulations for want of better entertainment, I came across these nuggets relating to food delivery companies and riders. 

 

 

184R   Duty to provide food delivery induction training

A food delivery booking provider must ensure food delivery induction training is provided to a food delivery rider engaged by the provider to deliver food or drink.

 

184U   Duties of food delivery riders

(1)  A food delivery rider must, while delivering food or drink, make the training verification record issued to the food delivery rider available for inspection by an inspector or a police officer.

 

(2)  A food delivery rider must, while delivering food or drink, use or wear high-vis personal protective equipment.

 

However these regulations only apply to delivery persons using a bicycle or motor bike. If they do it in a car, none of this seems to apply.

Guess a brown paper bagged was passed by deliveroo to the requisite people to get them exempt?

 

Speculation of course

After seeing these delivery people whizzing around the city, I am amazed that more haven't become bonnet ornaments. And they all seem to be from that wonderful employment pool - International Students.

Over here I have seen a couple of mopeds and their riders grace themselves over the left fenders and side of the bonnets as they try to uundercut left turning cars. I feel sorry for them because they are (over here) on a paltry price per delivery and need to get a heap done to earn a wage that almost allows them to exist.
