As a member of a sporting club I have been asked to work behind a bar and at a beer festival in a voluntary capacity Although we are briefed in a 'how to pour a pint' capacity - we receive no H&S information relating to evacuation procedures, manual handling, threat of robbery etc. My question is should we have that training and should we sign a sheet to say we have had it - even though we are volunteers?

Whilst it's nice to read a heated debate about blue badges - my original question was concerning the legalities of issuing fines for those parking in mother and child bays - a totally diffeent issue from disabled/blue badge holders bays.
Can someone define the difference between a public and private carpark when it comes to supermarkets - or indeed when you have to pay to use a supermarket car park?
My car park at work is a private car park? Does this mean that my interpretation of the car parking regulations could be diffeent to that of a public car park? Surely the law is the law?

I read that ASDA will be fining those parked in mother & child spaces without 'cause' a fee of £60.
Is this legal in a supermaket car park, or a private car park?
As I understood it, mother & child spaces are 'courtesy' spaces that are wider than the norm and closer to the store for convenience - there is no law as such attached to their use as is there is for disabled bays.
Can anyone shed any light on this?

I work for a conference centre and regularly place polite notices on vehicles parked in dangerous areas where they restricting turning etc, or in disabled bays when they are not displaying a blue badge, or on double yellow lines or even in motorcycle areas - Am I correct then in thinking from Philips comment that I cannot place a piece of paper on a vehicle?

If my staff are trained in manual handling -how often should they be retrained? Is it annually, even if their role does not change?

Having just purchased some new light bulbs, I was suprised to see on the advice note that a 'recycling contribution charge'would be added to the invoice. I already have my bulbs removed from site by a contractor - is this charge part of a new law, or is it my supplier trying to do his bit?
