[QUOTE="WhereDoIWorkAgain, post: 1067429, member: 44948"] Confirmed/backed some things up on this. No it wasn't seen directly by the sup in question, at the time it was going on. He did latter check up on it, however it was a box of hand lotion. Part of an ongoing problem with the daily load going to this company spoke with the part timer in question about it on Friday morning we're now simply setting aside leakers going to that load until the end of the day at which point the 20 to 40 packages daily that have various levels of problems will get reboxed in a controlled manner. Anything that has a major leak will of course be handled in a more urgent manner. Its a case of the load has issues every single day because of poor packaging on some of this companies suppliers using very cheap packaging, and our building in truth being fairly rough on a large number of packages especially during peak due to higher volume and size of packages than what the building was really intended to handle. This means we have packages of ooze everyday in certain loads. Charging off hours for hazmat responders sort of works in our building but it pretty much comes down to our asking the primary hazmat responder to estimate how much time he spent loading and how much time he spent responding. Each time you pull him away from his load even if he is gone for a very short while adds considerably more time to that load than what he spent actually responding due to a full belt, and slide and the jammed packages resulting from that, as well as possible damages to other items. The other part time when we spoke on it sort of realized that the way it was handled could possibly have created some problems. What we were seeing is two on-going larger problems in our building creating a small situation that could have been handled better. One of them was solved with the whole set aside thing that we have started now, though I have a feeling that "solution" may run into questions when we get safety audited. The other ongoing issue of our primary hazmat responder being on a busy load that very few of the other people in the building knowing, and constantly getting pulled away from is another issue that will take rather more to solve and is outside of my ability to do more than make suggestions to others, nor do I have the sort of relationship with the people in that area to do more than ask if there is anyway I could help.
