[QUOTE="dillweed, post: 394435, member: 5938"] I can understand why someone would hesitate to report a possible injury at UPS. We have safety meetings every week pounding it into our heads that we don't want any injuries. Various areas of the building are applauded for having had no injuries and breakfast is provided for those groups. Injuries are mentioned and, although no names are included, everyone knows and sends the hairy eyeball toward the culprit who ruined their chances at that $4.00 breakfast. It's a shameful thing to be injured on the job and I feel many employees are discouraged from reporting. Safety is preached daily at the PCMs but two minutes later they're slamming pkgs at us at a pretty hectic pace. We're often criticized for needing help with heavies and no one wants to be called a wimp on the job. I see that many of us here on BC have had injuries, it comes with the work. I imagine some of those folks were really put through the wringer for their weakness. I've been injured and one time ruined a long, long record of no injuries in my area. Too bad, too sad, my bod is worth way more than management's safety record. [/QUOTE]
