Royal Mail Van Roll Away Incident 15/1/24 24LTB002 Health, Safety & Environment Department LTB Digest for 2023 LTBs JANUARY - DECEMBER 2023 View Online
DOG ATTACKS
Over the past couple of years there has not only been an increase in parcels, but work habits have also changed with a significant amount of people choosing to work from home. As a consequence of these dogs will be out in the gardens, and not necessary locked up inside properties. Even when they are inside dogs can still pose a threat.

AVOID is how you can protect yourself.

A   Avoid interacting with all dogs
V   Value yourself, never put yourself at risk
O   Observe: Make sure your walk log is up to date
I     Inform others of any potential risk to stop them from being attacked
D    Defend yourself if necessary, using your delivery equipment.
