At some airfield where buggies/prams have to be manually carried up the airbridge external steps, there have been injuries caused to the staff involved - hence the involvement of H&S policy. Clearly, if the process involves a potential for injury, it cannot continue.
How in gods name does anyone manage to injure themslves carrying a buggy?!?!?
If my 5ft 45Kg petite wife can carry one about without hurting herself, then surely a big strapping baggage guy can!! HSE rules my ar$e!! More likely the airline staff just arent organised or cant be bothered....
