[QUOTE="trplnkl, post: 303764, member: 13254"] Sorry Tie, gotta disagree on this. The wear and tear on muscles and tendons can very well happen i a short period of time, depending on the amount of weight and number of parcels being moved and lifted. Repetitive trauma on the body is relative directly to how much that part of the body is being used, over used. I went back and scanned over his first post and didn't see a description of his physical size, so to say that his [COLOR=#0000ff]body structure that is not compatible with this type of work [COLOR=Black]is nothing more than speculation. We have women of fairly slight size doing the same job as Zero. The relatively short period of time could have more to do with conditioning than structure. Granted, this may not be the right job for Zero but that not our call to make. I know, first hand, that in Texas, repetitive trauma can be considered the same as an on job specific incident injury. To say "[/COLOR][/COLOR][COLOR=#0000ff] Perhaps you had some other hard jobs that contributed to your ripped tendons before you came to work at ups?" [COLOR=Black]is the usual statement made to attempt to dodge a bullet by the company.[/COLOR][/COLOR] TAW, or light duty work, doesn't not have to be offered by the company, however that does allow the company to avoid a "lost time" injury on the OSHA report and decreases the cost in insurance. That is why TWA is usually not offered to off job injured people, just on job. [/QUOTE]
