[QUOTE="BigBrownSanta, post: 303596, member: 11097"] I believe your scenario has stepped beyond the bounds of the original argument. But, if I am in the building and see those wet packages, then yes, I will have them checked before I leave. If I am on area and I find wet packages after repeatedly opening and closing the rear door, then I will probably assume (and yes I know what happens when you assume) that it's rainwater. Hopefully I won't be wrong. And yes, common sense would prevail. But, back to the unload situation... Do you not agree management has a responsibility to eliminate the unloader's objection by finding a way to keep rainwater off the packages? If not, then in a way, it could lead to complacency. What happens when a real hazmat that looks like rainwater on a package causes an injury because the unloader assumed it was just rainwater because it's always rainwater on the packages? That's how the thinking that "UPS doesn't care about safety" gets started. [/QUOTE]
