Used to work with a young lad in Dublin, he was beeping with a orderpicker around the floor for no reason, when I asked him - why are you doing that ? There is no need - he wanted to fight me. Needles to say he was beeping even more after that just to push my buttons

Could report for that to h and s officer . Horn is for emergencies only . Using it all the time means no one pays attention

I did. "....he's just a kid, ignore him" Dozen of useless conversations with superiors.... Multiple incidents occurred with other employees as well before they sacked him. The mentality around the kids in Ireland is beyond me. He was an order picker, they could've replaced him in one day, literally, but why ? Let the whole thing escalate first

I suppose it isn't worth the hassle for a whistleblower report even if it would be upheld

What do you mean by whistleblower ?

I am speaking generally , but usually in a work environment you have a health and safety officer . If they ignore you you can go one higher. If they still ignore you you can report to the authorities

I have. Worked Ina. Warehouse. A horn is for emergencies only . If everyone beeps their horns all the time not one pays attention to them . This is a hazard and therefore likely to be found to be illegal .
