[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 53279"] The "gift", bribe, what ever you want to call it, is not the focus of why they give it out. THey wnat safety to be a positive issue. Too many time we focus on what goes wrong with safety related issues and it ends up sounding negitive. Instead of focusing on how many people were injured, we focus on how many didnt. And believe it or not, positive reinforcement works. It also keeps safety in the fore front even when you are not having injuries or accidents. To give some of you some Ideas on the cost to the center when you get injured. These are full time numbers, for part time it is about 1/2. First off, if you report the injury late, there will be a $1,000 charge if it is past 7 days, and an additional $1,000 for each additional 7 day period. So reporting it on time is a must. There is a one time charge of $18,000 that occurs when Liberty cuts the first check to the driver. This charge is Zero if the driver is placed on TAW and is worked his/her full shift. If not worked the full guarantee, then Liberty makes up the difference, and the center gets charged the full $18,000 when they cut the first check. In addition to that there is a $600 per day charge to day 49, from days 50-100 it is increased to $900, and from days 101-149 it goes to $1100 per day. Then when you are released to go back to work, there is an Exit fee that is $6,500 dollars. So in this case if a driver is hurt on the job and is off 149 days, the cost to the center is $156,000. THat does not include any medical bills. Nor does that include the loss to the driver in wages or health. Injuries cost UPS serious money. If all the programs that are in place can prevent just one, then it is money well spent. And any money that is spent on awareness and prevention is a good investment. d [/QUOTE]
