Firefighters banned from running after legal win
Merseyside firefighters have been banned from circuit training or using running machines during their shifts after a firefighter who slipped on dust while training was awarded £100,000 in damages.
Les Skarratts, Merseyside branch secretary of the FBU firefighters' union, described the ban as "ridiculous" and "an example of the heavy-handed, almost tyrannical approach which management seem to be adopting currently".
"They should be making sure the workplaces are safe, not banning running," he added.
