From RMT & TSSA representatives on the Stations And Revenue Control Safety Council

Following on from an incident, can we remind staff that they should take extra care if they help members of the public with their luggage.

It is not in your job description. We are not porters. We don't have handling training, and most importantly, if you get injured, it will NOT go down as an accident on duty and you could receive a warning (as what happened in the quoted incident).

Remember- conditions of carriage clearly state that passengers shouldn’t bring anything on to the tube if they can't carry it themselves.

This is especially important to remember as the Olympics are coming up.
