[QUOTE="HEFFERNAN, post: 502474, member: 11315"] You are a respected member of the board, so I'm not trying to flame you here. But it seems you are using your own personal hatred for management's safety agenda to make your point. First off, we understand the $40 3-point belt controversy. Maybe it was a mistake, maybe it was an oversight, maybe it was a way to save money. Either way it goes, UPS can not retrofit the belts because they would be liable for a lawsuit for EVERY SINGLE INCIDENT the belt was involved in. The government and the company feels the belts are safe for use. So be it. So obviously, you are fed up with UPS for not giving enough thought to this safety area. Now UPS wants you to memorize different safety commentary lists. Honestly, all these driving safety lists should be taught in drivers ed, if not already. Lifting and lowering plus walking are more for the UPS driver's environment, but keeps our minds on the goal of working safely. Now, you feel that UPS is OVERTHINKING this safety area, so you don't feel you should do it. Please give a list of your safety requirements to UPS Corporate in Atlanta, so all of us drivers will know what is right and wrong. You have your right to vent, no problem here, but if you are not happy with the UPS safety agenda as it is now, then I don't think anyone will ever figure you out. [/QUOTE]
