[QUOTE="curiousbrain, post: 1155836, member: 31608"] From a legal standpoint, I'm not sure UPS would want to be on the hook for having a responder administer CPR or what not in a possibly life threatening situation; I'm not a lawyer by any stretch, but in the event of a serious injury and a lawsuit, I'm sure issues would be raised about the quality of the responder, the kind of training they received, so on and so forth. I'm certainly not advocating that the company should maintain a "Let's all hope [IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG][IMG]*[/IMG] doesn't happen" (which seems to sort of be there policy now, to some extent), but it wouldn't surprise me if this issue had been considered multiple times, and the possible legal/fiscal risks have prevented the creation of such responders. I'd also be curious as to how state laws supersede UPS' on company property; that is to say, if the state certifies that a person can administer CPR or similar activity in a life threatening situation, does that mean UPS is not subject to legal proceedings in regards to that training?
