Proper Health and Safety training, and a contract that allows you a minimum 6 months off paid sick if your back goes. |

Just as well they ain't on PH without a meter innit. I can get the disabled in my car, chair in the boot and away in a lot less time, makes the client feel human again as well, almost the great escape for 5 minutes to them. |

BTW, "disabled" does NOT automatically mean they MUST use a wheelchair (for any LOs looking in) |

Thanks wanna, I suspect that all WAV's will be back to rear loading if a chair lift should become compulsory. H & S regs should take presidence over the silly LA rules that they make up on the back of beer mats at lunch breaks.

ranks arent suited to rear loading, the vehicle would need space, but the wheelchair would need to be "on the road", side loading off the kerb is easier LTi/Tx's cant load from the rear - and never will |
