[QUOTE="UpstateNYUPSer(Ret), post: 2319781, member: 12570"] Safety rules they don't teach: Always step off truck backwards holding handrail and box on floor, [COLOR=#ff0000]Nope.[/COLOR] Never fold in mirror. [COLOR=#ff0000]Why not?[/COLOR] Carry heavies on shoulder; avoid carrying in front, or better yet carry all over 30 lbs with cart. [COLOR=#ff0000]Shoulder is not in your power zone.[/COLOR] Roll boxes out the back door on to cart. [COLOR=#ff0000]What if the delivery is to be made out of the passenger door?[/COLOR] Never pull loaded cart up stairs. [COLOR=#ff0000]Would you prefer that I push it up the stairs?[/COLOR] Don't bother climbing porch steps. [COLOR=#ff0000]So we should toss the package on to the porch?[/COLOR] Don't bend back or knees either to lower/drop pkg. [COLOR=#ff0000]Bend at waist and drop?[/COLOR] Hold pkgs with thumb neutral...joint at the base of thumb wears out more than any other joint , including knees. [COLOR=#ff0000]WTH is "thumb neutral"?[/COLOR] Pivot in seat before standing up. [COLOR=#ff0000]Yup.[/COLOR] Never fasten seat belt with 1 arm. [COLOR=#ff0000]I do it all day long.[/COLOR] Move heavies from under shelves before lifting. [COLOR=#ff0000]Well......duh.[/COLOR] Never enter/exit on driver's side. [COLOR=#ff0000]It is perfectly acceptable to do this with smaller packages.[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
