'Ridiculous' policy means paint tin gets Hove man banned from bus

11:40am Tuesday 25th September 2012 in News By Ben James

BANNED: Ken Adams BANNED: Ken Adams

A man was banned from getting on a bus – because he was carrying a tin of paint.

Civil servant Ken Adams, 51, got his marching orders when trying to board the 5B after picking up a tin of white emulsion at Homebase in Old Shoreham Road, Hove.

He said: “I went to scan my travel card and the driver told me that I couldn’t come on. I thought he was joking but then he told me that it was company policy and made me get off.

“I’m not a hoodie with a can of spray paint. I was hardly about to get on and paint the bus.”

With no other option, Mr Adams had to walk two miles across Hove to his Adelaide Crescent home.

Following a complaint in writing, he received a refreshing email response from a sympathetic Brighton and Hove Bus and Coach Company worker.

The response said: “I am very sorry and you have my heartfelt apologies. They are not fun things to carry long distances and I hope you made it home safely.

“It is policy because tins of paint are usually heavy and if the bus braked suddenly then they can open quite easily and do damage to the bus. They also have a habit of popping open in direct sunlight.

“I know this is another ridiculous sign-of-the-times health and safety policy and not all our drivers adhere to this.”

Roger French, the managing director of Brighton and Hove Buses, said: “It is policy that no paint is allowed on buses – however, as always the final decision is at the discretion of the driver.”

That driver needs to have a long hard look at himself in the mirror.

Or Mr Adams could have put the tin in a carrier bag.

Make sure the carrier bag isnt a homebase one, perhaps from another shop that definitely doesn't sell paint. or a pram or pushchair.

You cannot Gloss over this, that man looks very Emulsionally unstable, perhaps after this Brush with the laws of B&H Buses he will keep the next tin hidden, perhaps Undercoat.

Yet another example of how there is no joined up thinking between the Greens policy to persuade everyone to use public transport and the provider of the transport. Now, if you use the bus, you need to check that the products you're buying are allowed on ! Personally I'll continue to use my car.

For exhibiting a total lack of common sense and understanding, he should be fired, immediately. It isn't sufficient to hide behind silly rules. The man is supposed to be able to consider the circumstances. Or look for a job in which he doesn't have direct contact with the customers.

Sounds like a whitewash. It's up to the driver to make a judgement, so in some cases it's OK to take paint on the bus. In that case “it is policy that no paint is allowed on buses" is not true.

Makes perfect sense to me to stop someone boarding public transport carrying a substance covered by COSHH.
What if the driver had braked?
What if the gentleman had dropped the tin?
Its a fair and reasonable response not to allow toxic and dangerous liquids onto public transport.

The city council's website has information on it about the two recycling centres and recycling oil, paint etc
The same pages give information on how to get there using B&H buses.
So B&H City Council you need to change the website and actually state that B&H buses do not allow waste to be carried on public transport.
This is another example of why the Greens drive me bloody mad.
Two recycling centres, both close at 4pm in the week, one is only open until lunchtime on a Saturday and we have the lowest levels of recycling in the UK yet we have a Green council meddling with transport routes and gay marriage.
Useless.

So you can't carry things that might damage the bus? How far does this extend? Food shopping - that could easily spill? Wouldn't those eggs break after some sharp braking? Or leave us crying over some spilt milk...

But we should use the bus rather than cars - that's why the roads are being given to buses like the recent Lewes Road decision. Let's hope that no-one wants to visit B&Q to get any paint..... Oops!

Health and safety isnt something to be brushed aside, there are rules, and the driver wasnt going to gloss over them. I know it sounds like a whitewash, but without these guidelines, it'd be like walking on eggshells. I think its probably had sufficient coverage, even if its been put on a bit thick, im sure we can roll it back, as theres no point masking the facts. All too often we water down what we want to say, when really we should be making strokes for a clear finish. I think the drivers name was Matt........

Rather than eat it, could you just give it to me and I'll spend it on (hot takeaway strong smelling) food instead? Obviously, I wouldn't dream of eating it or trying to carry it on a B&H bus...

has been like that for at least the past 13 years, when i started there. the easiest thing to do is put it in a carrier bag. then if it does spill, it is contained. these rules are made to improved the comfort of all passengers, as i'm sure you would not be impressed if your clothes got covered in paint. also, the cost of cleaning up the mess would be horrendous, which the company could pass on to the customer!

The dentures could fly out and hit someone in the back of the head causing a cut and possibly infection. Stupid rules, stupid story.

Belive it or not, there are people who decide to vandalise buses by throwing paint all over the inside (my husband used to be a B&H bus driver and his colleagues experienced this on more than one occasion) and this is one of the reasons for the "no paint" rule. Spilled accidentally or thrown everywhere on purpose, paint is a nightmare to get off. And if the bus driver had been caught with a passenger with paint on his bus, he would probably have been sacked.

I don't think the driver really has the time to check every single item coming aboard for safety and to consider whether or not it is toxic or flammable, just has to make snap decisions based on what is seen.

I used to work for a ferry company and we didn't allow (very sensibly) opened gas canisters onboard. Obviously we didn't go through people's bags looking for them, but if we saw them we would refuse access.

Good point. Emulsion paint and eggs/milk are similar from a chemistry point of view, so comparing them is indeed serious.
