At work I did 12 years repairing drains then last year they decided to get me a water hygiene card and send me out doing water repairs.
I just had a call from the office asking me to go and unblock a drain, I refused because as far as I'm concerned my van is for water repairs and working on a drain would risk contamination.
Next thing my boss phones me 'Why you refusing work', and ended with 'There is legislation that says you can'. I called bullshit and said as soon as he showed me the legislation I would go and unblock the drain.
Is he talking from his backside or is he right? Everything I learned on the hygiene course tells me he is wrong.
