This is great feedback for me.

Do you think as long as I have put in writing that a cargo barrier should be fitted to the vans I will be in the clear.

One of our staff had been hit in the head by tools moving forward under heavy breaking already.

But the whole vehicle safety is also about no one checking roadworthyness.

The managers expect me to do all the vehicle checks, not really practical when I don't see the vehicles for weeks on end some times.
I do check vehicles when I can, thats how I found the empty sumps the 20K overdue service, the lights not working etc.
And yes I have put my concerns in writing to the owner.

I am finding this safety business a bit too stressful, having to fight for every single problem, getting abused by managers and ridiculed at every turn.
