Further to my post, Overweight newspapers make for unsafe work practices according to OH&S study, two delivery drivers for newspaper publishers have contacted me about their concerns with overweight newspapers. Once has commented at the above entry. I’ve also heard from several newsagents, one of whom told me about a driver who went on sick leave last week with shoulder injuries. The problem with the weight of newspapers is not new. What is new is that there is now a respected report which provides evidence and demands action.
