Umbrella Bags
« on: April 23, 2008, 11:57:33 AM »
There was a stand at the entrance to the building this morning holding umbrella bags. I've never heard of them before but they are for putting your wet umbrella in to stop it dripping on the floor. A dripping umbrella could cause a slipping hazard apparently .

Is this more health and safety madness or a good idea?

You can't leave you umbrella by the door because it will get nicked!

And no one keeps the covers that they come with so I think this is a splendid plan.

I've had a message from the building manager asking that we encourage our staff to use them so I guess the uptake wasn't that great this morning.

Won't these bags need other bags to store them in (safely)?
