If it blows a day in Lexby in Partille, the residents on Smedjegårdsvägen risk being without postal distribution.
The reason for this is that the community has installed heavy sheet metal doors to protect the area’s mail boxes from doodles, water and other damage.
But the doors are heavy and risk damaging postmen if it blows sharply.
Therefore, PostNord’s employees have the right not to distribute the post in the area at strong wind, confirms Andreas GranlundPostNord’s site manager in Partille.
– It is true that they have outdoor boxes where we deliver the mail. And into these boxes, there are heavy doors that can blow on our employees in strong winds. It has happened a couple of times, he tells Partille newspaper.
The case has been raised as a work environment issue internally.
– You have got a pretty heavy door on your back. Then you experience an insecurity I can imagine, Granlund tells Partille Tidning.
Within Postnord, it is up to each postman to make sure you work safely. There is thus no prohibition on handing out the post, despite strong winds, but is decided on a case -by -case basis.
A total of 212 households in Lexby are affected if the postal number from Postnord is absent. If that were to be the case, you have to go to their business center to retrieve their letters, or wait for the next dividend day.
– You get a little frustrated, we do not know what can be in the post. In this case, I’m waiting for a package. Now that they also only distribute mail every third or every other day, you become even more annoyed, says a resident in the area concerned in Lexby to Partille Tidning.
