[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 813781, member: 484"] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=Tahoma]I had another poster ask me about a post by FracusBrown that somehow I had overlooked where he made the following statement While he was attempting to be funny in the second half of the post, he is technically correct in the statement that it does not specifically prohibit. [/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=Tahoma]But that is the problem when you have someone that is viewing only the written word for exact fits to what you are trying to prove or disprove.[/FONT][/COLOR] [COLOR=#333333][FONT=Tahoma]First, anyone care to guess how many deaths there have been over the last 10 years by persons being pulled into conveyor systems by clothes?

This is also why UPS has developed guidelines for sups wearing ties in the workplace, long hair that can not be loose etc. I hope this clears it up? d[/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
