Uniforms- Is blue here to stay?

[bittenyakka]

So it has been a while since the blow up about the contaminated greens and i have been wondering if we are going to see green again or not?

[boredmatrix]

two and a half years to be precise

green is currently being trialled in whyalla....


but....

will probably be another 6-12 months minimum before it gets rolled back out.

[bittenyakka]

thanks, any news on the trial? or is it just due procedure?

[boredmatrix]

it's procedure as far as i'm aware

They also need to conduct an intensive cleaning process of stations and vehicles in an attempt to remove the allergen(s) which is still causing issues for some people.  This has been trialled at a couple of sites with poor results thus far.

The SAAS clean is just about done woohoo, not long to go and back to green. I think there is only a few stations to go and its all done few in south region anda few in north and its done from what i can remember seeing on the cleaning programe.

why didn't they stay with the sth australian manufacturer (Mastacraft?) instead of going overseas?

When you are creating a clone of the British NHS ambulance service you go to the mother country for your ideas and uniforms. Damned colonial interference.

i think the whole point was to try and stay as close to the old uniform as possible. just give it a bit of a revamp it looks good and feels pretty comfy i cant wait till we are back in green, all we need now is our lovely epaulettes and uniform compleate thank goodness its only our clinical level on them!!!!!!!!!!!!

[amboman69]

Shouldn't be much longer people, pretty soon we will be in uniforms that look the same as the old ones - except they wil say "SA Ambulance", (not "Ambulance") on the back in tiny writing (so we won't be mistaken for the vehicles we drive), will have epaulettes for the clinical grades that will be covered over as soon as we don a tabard or jacket and still don't fit like we wanted them to.

In the meantime, the manufacturers have stuffed up so often that SAAS was seeking Crown Law advice on what to do/who to sue, it has cost many many millions of dollars to clean stations, houses, people, etc. etc. (don't reckon much change out of 10 mill) and the company that competently made our original uniforms is out of business.

On top of all that - we still don't know what really caused the allergies.

Great Job fells, Great Job

Definitely forget the U.S. system that you are trying to ?run, Blackfoot. A dumb quote someone told me " The american teaching is the only way"! Pfft :roll:
