'Posting Pegs' To Foil Dogs With A Taste For Postmen
Postmen are to be issued with a new gadget that aims to prevent their fingers being bitten by overeager dogs.
'Posting Pegs' are 8in long, flat plastic tweezers that allow postmen to keep their fingers well out of the way when posting a letter.
They simply insert the letter into the peg before pushing it through the letterbox.
A simple twist of the stick then allows the letter to be dropped, with the postman never having to expose their fingers to potential attack.
It is hoped that arming Britain's 70,000 postmen and women with the implements will reduce the 5,000 dog attacks they suffer each year.
The Royal Mail has now started offering the pegs to all of its staff and they are provided upon request.
However, according to Dave Joyce, national health and safety officer for the Communications Workers' Union (CWU), many Royal mail employees are not even aware of the existence of the pegs.
He is calling for a campaign to make postmen and women more aware of the devices, as well as calling on households with aggressive dogs to fit letterbox cages.
