"Seeside. I can sympathise. I am Diabetic T2 and when on Security or in Hotel Reception work, the worst area for health issues was my feet. Then I discovered Insoles. Not the wafer thin Scholl type but the Gel Insoles. There are various types and in my opinion, try the Brand of Air Plus. They do a range for both men and women, but go for the heavy duty Men's Sport version. They last ages, took the stress and strain out of my feet, even in safety footwear. My feet medical issues have stopped totally and my GP's over the past 3-4 years now swear it was down to these insoles. I have tried the Scholl versions but they aren't so hard wearing! I will PM you with a known stockist." Thanks for that | |||

Further to my posting a few minutes ago, if you are paid via an agency and their Payroll dept sorts out your Tax & NI, supplying you with pay slips weekly or monthly, then they are your employer. They are then responsible for your PPE, well being and so on. The client to which you're booked out to has a duty of care towards you as well. | |||
