[QUOTE="p228, post: 784727, member: 27328"] District safety reports. Can't remember the last time I heard of a head injury from a container. Maybe in other areas of the country people are dropping like flies as a result but not here. Bid into? Nearly all the air loaders did not bid into the job. You get hired and are assigned to an area based on the needs of the operation. If the air belts need help you are assigned there. Improvise, adapt and overcome. While I can't speak for everyone, the average person, upon hitting his head once would take the initiative to prevent that from happening again. How anyone can make the exact same mistake four times without correcting the problem is rather amazing. What's more, I've never seen an air belt assign employees to a load based on one's height. You cover your own load and if you get an A1, awesome. If you get an L9, that sucks, but it is the job and you do it anyway. Having loaded plenty of L9s myself I can attest to the fact that they aren't fun but I have never ended up with a head injury as a result. Ensuring the safety of the operation and employees isn't just the responsibility of management. You need to take personal responsibility for your own safety. [/QUOTE]
