Now this I like. Whilst not wishing to complicate matters by bleeding one thread into another, the points offered by 1man1desk are hugely welcome but, when translated onto the very ground for which they are intended, field staff do not (almost ubiquitously)work in an environment where pro-active HS cultures are welcome. For HS legislation/procedures to be even remotely effective, field staff need to be confident that in demanding what is right, they don`t end their careers. On the contrary, Unit managers are the ones who should be in fear of losing their jobs. How do we protect the rights of field staff when units can easily replace workers overnight?.[?]
