If you didn't have stones protecting your grass verge he wouldn't of needed to be so far over the side of the roadAs I saw a young lad race past with a trailer loaded with stone, phone glued to his ear, I wondered about his employers insurance. I wondered if it is worth having a word with his employer and mentioning the cost of an accident. He then hit the edge of the road and we now have an new ditch for quite a way!
I then wondered if his insurance covered cleaning the tractor seat...
See that everyday when the digester crew are running ,flat out through the village with phones firmly embeddedAs I saw a young lad race past with a trailer loaded with stone, phone glued to his ear, I wondered about his employers insurance.

I frankly don't care if they plough themselves into the ditch or the neighboring field for good, one less oxygen thief on the planet. However for the good of other road users I hope they get the full force of the law if they get caught.It was round the blind bend. The steering wheel needed to be turned. The nut behind the wheel did not do the necessary. I am sure the landowner there is happy to have a ditch to drain his field.
Put them in a ROPS tractor, you can't use them because you can't hear anything over the tractor noise.As I saw a young lad race past with a trailer loaded with stone, phone glued to his ear, I wondered about his employers insurance.

That sounds like a very sensible approach. Don't forget to define what "fair use" is thoughThanks all for the input, I am going to try a no phone policy on moving or working machinery, and a fair useage policy otherwise, and see how it works for the next few months.
Good look,have seen it in practise,every time you contact some one they either stop or ignore you and hope you will be practising same policyThanks all for the input, I am going to try a no phone policy on moving or working machinery, and a fair useage policy otherwise, and see how it works for the next few months.
In my industry in the building sites it's zero tolerance to using phones if your plant driver or labourerHow do employers and employees deal with the above?
I am currently sorting out our Health & Safety on farm, and want to provide clear guidelines to employees on mobile phone use during work time.
I realise that they are part of modern society, and as lone workers they are useful for an emergency situation, there is also the need for me to contact them and vice versa.
Any ideas, or example policies that people are using?
They know they will get crucified by HSE. We live in another world.In my industry in the building sites it's zero tolerance to using phones if your plant driver or labourer
