Rudeboy logic again. Apparently the Muslim world in far hotter and humid climates than the UK, completely shuts down during Ramadan and no one is employed in high risk jobs at all. Like pilots and firemen/police/nurses/doctors etc etc etc. In Rudeboys world it is just an excuse, any old excuse, to get very angry at individual Muslims and Islam, again.
Then personal abuse to other posters who disagree with him.
Being called racist by someone not bright enough to understand what the word means is a far greater insult.
I am fully aware of what Ramadan is thanks .
I am also fully aware of what the point was BUT for the 3rd time THE EMPLOYER was fully aware he was doing it so perhaps the onus was on them to agree away around the commitment of Ramadan. Its called compromise.
He was still in the bloody crane working so really what is the point of reporting him to the boss/ H&S people in the company if they already knew & did nothing.
It doesn’t make it right in anyway.
Why was he employed in the first place?
Employers, I believe, cannot discriminate because of a persons faith but they do have a duty to ensure the safety of their employees. In this case, I agree the employee should be reassigned to a less high risk job.

& again …… I called NO ONE a racist I said picking on a single group is racism.

but it isn’t

I think the employee should be fired in this case. He acted irrationally, and endangered people’s lives. Religion isn’t an excuse, anyone who intentionally dehydrates themselves and operates heavy machinery should expect the same treatment.

If someone is selfish enough to risk peoples lives and possible manslaughter charges why should they not be sacked? It’s gross negligence from both the employee and employer IMV

and the employer if he knowingly turned a blind eye

I don’t expect it’s something they even thought about, given my experience with construction workers.

Then perhaps you can provide evidence, given your experience Dr Drac, when a serious accident has occurred on a building site that can be directly attributed to Ramadan and fasting.
You can can’t you?
