The nanny state strikes again!

[Kimmie]

TBF though some of the training was informative, albeit common sense. I'm at risk of Weil's Disease on a daily basis (aka Leptospirosis) that can pretty much shut down your organs within 24 hours if contracted. It's found in rat piss and as some work we do is underground there's usually rat piss around somewhere. It was still common sense though, would you stick your bare hand down a manhole and then eat your lunch without washing your hands? Quite.

We have this with our outdoor in sheds as we back onto a canal. The thing is though, it's not just about washing your hands after, as if you have any cut/broken skin it can get into that too. Trying to educate our cleaners on how serious it is and that they need to wear gloves when taking out the rubbish is hard work!
