A rail worker who saved a disabled woman from train tracks shortly
before a train was due has been suspended by his company for 'breaching safety
rules'.
Alan Chittock, 50, jumped to the rescue with three other people, hauling
the wheelchair-bound woman, who was in her 70s, to safety last week at
Southend Central Rail Station.
Onlookers described Mr Chittock as a hero, but his employer, c2c, said
that the father of three, had not followed the correct procedures for an
incident of this nature.
That is the biggest load
of bollocks I’ve ever heard, so judging by their reaction to this event c2c
obviously have a procedure in place that when anyone has fallen onto a train
track at a busy station, all c2c employees must do nothing and watch as some
poor soul gets run over by a train.
Mr Chittock did the right
thing and his employers should be rewarding him, and consider themselves lucky
they have an employee like that, not making him face some bullshit disciplinary
inquiry.
I can’t believe that when
his superiors heard about this their immediate thoughts were, he’s not followed
the appropriate safety procedures right launch an inquiry and suspend him until
further notice.
c2c get your priorities
right.
