Postmen to be issued with 'Posting Pegs' to avoid getting their fingers bitten by dogs, Britain - 17 Sep 2011
Manadatory Credit: Photo by Mikael Buck / Rex Features (1448596d)
'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.

Slumdog posties
Mr B.S Jaiswar, Postmaster of Dharavi Post Office. He has been in post for two and a half years of a 4 year tenure. This is his first 'command' of a delivery office though he worked in a lesser position in one in Mumbai Central East district. By comparison this area has many more challenges. He says 'If you think of the Dharavi postmen in terms of the armed forces then they are the Special Forces, the elite commando's who tackle the most difficult work in the most challenging conditions. Even the police come to them if they need to trace an address in Dharavi. They have to work harder than any other postmen'
The Dharavi Post office is the sole delivery office for
Dharavi, one of Asia's biggest slums housing somewhere between 600, 000 and a million or more people in a packed area of .67 square miles. The 20 postmen attached to the office go out in two shifts: 10 postmen in the morning and 10 in the afternoon, on individual beats that they know intimately. Such is the complexity of Dharavi's maze-like lanes that it takes a postman 6 months to learn the basics of his beat and up to 2 years to fully master it. The challenges are unique in Dharavi where many dwellings have no numbers and addresses are often simply the addressee's name followed by just 'Dharavi'. The postmen walk around 8 kilometres (nearly 5 miles) on a shift and much of that is difficult, hazardous walking over water pipes, broken paving, open sewers and up and down narrow unsafe stairs.
