pitotheat.
First is that under the "DDH Construct" (see my post number #335 on page 17), safety responsibility is for life
so that a DDH can be called to account - legally - for any decision he makes, for all time (or until he dies one presumes.....)
Secondly, the DDH (OC 2 FTS) is an FTRS post, and so will not be "posted" (indeed - he can't be) in the foreseeable future.
