As a fueller at MAN we are unable to get access to water once we are landside, as we are not allowed to take water through security..
I was starting to suffer on Sunday when the temp. on the apron reached 30.5 degrees and we were out for at least 2.5 hours with no access to drinking water.
In the past we have been told if we are becoimg dehydrated then return to base and take fluids on and if we delay customers then so be it, personnel safety MUST come first. So if the summer tempss. that we press are going on about come true, then there maybe fuelling delays all down to the fact we can't have water!!!!!
Madness for sure
