How should a takeaway handle a dangerous takeaway order safely?

People are very concerned about super typhoon. Let's take a look at the news. When people encounter the typhoon problem again, people now choose to order takeout, and the takeout staff will become the main line of danger. This strong typhoon is rare in recent years, but the tragedy still happened. According to news reports, the emergency room of the Sixth People's Hospital of Shanghai admitted a take-away food delivery clerk who was electrocuted.

This delivery man is in his forties. That night, he rode a battery car to deliver food near Tianlin Road, when he was caught in a typhoon and heavy rain. He accidentally got an electric shock because of the deep water on the road. When he was taken to the emergency room of the hospital, he had no vital signs. At present, the public security department is investigating the exact cause of death of the deceased.

So what also caused the takeaway to take orders in typhoon weather?

Mainly because there are many take-away companies in typhoon weather, and there are hard and fast rules that must let the take-away staff go out to deliver food. In fact, these rules are very unreasonable. More users will order dishes in typhoon weather. Therefore, the combination of these two reasons led to the fact that the food delivery staff had to go out to deliver food in typhoon weather, which led to this tragedy.

How can the delivery staff refuse these orders?

The Shanghai Municipal Government issued the "Implementation Opinions on the Arrangements for Suspending Classes and Handling Delayed Work in Response to Extreme Weather in Shanghai", clearly stating that if the work is delayed due to the red warning of meteorological disasters, the employer shall not treat it as being late or absent from work, and shall not deduct wages and benefits, and shall not take legal holidays and rest days as compensation, and shall not give disciplinary punishment or terminate labor relations on this ground. This is undoubtedly a good rule for foreign sellers, but whether take-away sellers will use legal weapons to protect their lives remains to be verified!

The meagre strength of outside salespeople is not enough to shake the company. We should use the power of the government to strengthen respect for human life!

We are really distressed to see those takeaway workers struggling in the rain. I hope that in this busy society, there will be more humanitarianism and less harshness!
