You may find that he wasn’t trained by his employer to move heavy objects. Without that training, he probably wasn’t covered by his employer’s insurance had he, for example, injured his back. This is the World that we now live in.

Too lazy ! thats a bit rich !.. As a long term meter reader we have had it drilled into us countless times not to shift ANYTHING let alone a hulking great tumble dryer or even worse, a three ton washing machine.
I once tore someones kitchen Lino flooring a touch in moving a dryer to get at a meter the occupier had willingly made impossible to get at and ended up getting reprimanded for costing the company £200 compo.
Once I even forked out my own money (£40 ) for a family sized cafe tierre when it fell apart when I was trying to get to their gas meter stuffed away in a kitchen cupboard inundated with kitchenalia..
Philip1701, next time you have either a meter fitter or meter reader trying to access the meters..shift the stuff yourself in advance please .We are not allowed to move stuff for both H and S and possible heavy claims for damaging items.
