[QUOTE="upsdude, post: 315689, member: 2033"] Safety Meeting attendance must be approved in advance in my center. The center manager has yet to approve anyone other than the co-chair. That’s right, the co-chair and a management person are the only attendees. I posted a picture of an ODS message a while back that basically said approval was required to attend safety meetings. Not that it will make a difference but I do hope a Keter (spelling?) auditor grabs me to ask a few questions. I really would like to give an answer to “What does the safety committee do to promote a safe work place?” “Observations”. The company uses a 1 year driver (the co-chair) to go out and observe drivers using or not using safe work methods. He reports his findings to management who in turn meets with the employee. Has any discipline come from these observations? I don’t know for sure. A previous post mentioned “safety committee members” giving warning letters. That remark could have come from their folks doing observations as well. We were told last week that UPS employees average 43 injuries a day across the USA. That figure includes everyone, hourly and management. Do the math, that isn’t a bad number at all. Yes, one is too many. [/QUOTE]
