Screen ology and Screenerism

[john m]

Just back from the Suitability with out screen as I posted earlier I did not know the rules so why risk it ..The Official rule IF YOU FIT A SCREEN YOU MUST INFORM YOUR INSURER OF THE MODIFICATION AND THEY MUST ISSUE YOU WITH A LETTER SAYING THAT YOU ARE INSURED AND THAT THEY ARE HAPPY IT CONFORMS TO THE NTA GUIDELINES ..So its an insurance issue first and foremost .Remember the guidelines you must not reduce the space anchor to any of the safety devices ie headrests  seat belt mounts or obstruct airbags and you must use shatter proof material .That is the OFFICIAL WORD as issued to inspectors this morning .

Fair play.

 Dividing screens must not hinder or obstruct the normal operation of head restraints;


That's the text directly from the NTA pdf....so has that particular text been changed?

[john m]

Hard to operate the headrests if you have plastic cable tied to them ,I wonder if the Insurance companies will insist we pay a mechanical engineer to certify the screens .

[Shallowhal]

They're actually not difficult with the strap but that's neither here nor there when it comes to suitability inspectors,they're paid to find something to fail you on...probably even a bonus scheme in place.

Think its clear from my post you get a letter from the Insurance it will be them that has to make sure they conform not the inspectors they will just read the insurance letter .Its parcel passing at its best once again from the NTA .I bet insurers will insist on an engineers report .The NTA stated in their blurb that there was no evidence screens worked so they clearly see them as a fashion statement like any other modification .

I don't know why shops went to the expense of fitting those screens at deli's and checkout.....customers would only be in the proximity of a cashier when paying and for a very short time,certainly not anywhere as near as we would be to a customer for longer periods.

Looks good and makes the staff turn up for minimum wage.

Looks good and makes they're staff turn up for minimum wage.

Staff couldn't give a bollox....all a PR exercise to make it look good.....they'll be claiming all expenses anyway.

[mercenary for hire]

They had and still have a huge problem recruiting people for minimum wage jobs.In the beginning ,you could walk off the job and get the 350 rather than working a full week for 400 before expenses.

Some of them shops have massive turnover numbers in the tens of thousands a day.A couple of grand for a few perspex screens mean nothing to them.

A friend works for a Supervalu shop...the Friday of the June bank holiday,the off licence pulled 19k alone....i know the govt take a lot of duty but a €10 bottle of wine is bought by the shop for about €4.

Surely the thing to do ,would to NOT  fit a screen and save yourselves the headache,and expense.unless of course your bosses in F,N,and lynk insist on it.I can tell ya I wont be fitting a screen,but then I dont have a boss telling me what to do.....except her in doors of course
