[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 53263"] Rider YEs you can get hurt even when following the methods. Methods will reduce the number of injuries dramaticly though, so follow them, they work. As for getting things changed, take an active role in your safety committee. And on safety issues that are not fixed in a timely manor, file greivances. STart creating a paper trail. Think about why you are written up with a verbal warning, then a written warning, then suspensions before termination. They are creating a paper trail for an issue they feel very strongly about. So why do you not do the same thing on safety issues. As they become part of the safety record for your work group, it sets the stage for an investigation should something go wrong. The safety group DOES have quite a bit of power to get things done. USe it. And as the rest of the work group see that you walk the talk and get things done in spite of managements obstuctions......well just do it. And if you need help on issues, Email me. Maybe I can help, or at least connect you with others in the system that can. I think that getting our input to make our jobs safer was a really smart move. The fact that OSHA MADE UPS do it to settle some grossly insane fines really dosnt matter. d [/QUOTE]
