We Had A Report Of Someone From Greenpeace Walking Up And Down 😲✌🎥🛸❌

Today we take a look at What More UK, Altham Business Park, Shorten Brook Way, Altham, Accrington BB5 5YJ.
This is another site which is located at the end of a road so they tend to have less members of the public walking around but this does not mean that standards can slip.
We find, plastic pellets left discarded in many places, trip hazards, forklift use without proper registration and staff who do not take the issues seriously.
They even call the Police with a false report that I am an Activist from Greenpeace.
Enjoy!

I intend to make a complaint to this shoddy business regarding this serious matter. As you quite rightly say wildlife will probably eat those pellets. It’s absolutely disgusting. And there’s no excuse for it. And the two men that lied regarding the pellets being cleaned up daily is also absolutely disgraceful. The whole place stinks of shoddy careless practices. Outstanding work mr Audits. The officer could have shown more appreciation and understanding to what you told him and showed him. But he was fairly reasonable. I really hope the council, environmental health and united utilities all take action regarding this absolute criminal behaviour by this shoddy business.

When you said to the cop that you've only spoken to the works manager, that's a good point. I've worked for two companies where I have spoken to a director or senior manager about issues that junior management and supervisors are ignoring or causing and they have said they are completely unaware of it and invited me to go to them direct with any further issues, so it is often kept from them. Not that that's an excuse. They should all be aware of what's going on.

[@johnclements6614]

The directors should walk around the site once or twice a month as part of HSEQ audit, at random unannounced times. They may well think of ways to improve the business whilst having a stroll around. If they just get out of their car and walk into their office without looking left or right they are not doing their job.

The forklift: there’s an issue that’s all too frequently ignored. (Them and golf carts). Constantly used by businesses yet not licensed to be on the roadways. It’s an issue to me because; I’ve had an idiot on a forklift back up into my truck. Caved in a large section of the box. The operator called his boss, who came out and offered to cover the damages, just get a quote and bring it back to him. When I tried to bring him the quote 3 days later, he was ‘busy’. The next week he was ‘away for the week’. After a month and a half, when I finally caught him in the parking lot, he says that it’s between me and the guy that was operating the forklift. And BTW he no longer works here. Then wouldn’t give me the operators name. It took over 7 months but I did get my truck repaired at their expense. (But I also had to drive around with a smashed truck for 7mos because I didn’t want to have it repaired, then have them deny the extent of the damage.
