[QUOTE="dannyboy, post: 316439, member: 484"] Ah, but there you and I differ. Safety is the reduction of injuries by documentating the unsafe behavior. It is also limiting the exposure to unsafe behavior or potential accidents. So you are telling me that no one has ever been injured while sorting through their truck before start time? How is that possible? And while UPS insurance will cover the injury, it can not be workers comp, because you were not injured on the job. ( see the liability issue???????) Secondly, space is at a premium in the preload areas. Many times, the preloader really does not have the space for himself, much less someone else standing in the way. Someone that is not suposed to be there in the first place. Someone that for what ever reason wants to move packages around instead of leaving them where they are to begin with. It has nothing to do with rude. You are not to be on the truck before start time. To do otherwise violates not only the contract, but also UPS policy as well. There are reasons for rules, dont you agree? Thirdly, you are falsifying your DOT time card. Know what the penalty is for that? You did know that your time card is a DOT required item, right? And you are not documenting hours worked on company time? And that is just for starters, off the top of my head. TEll me, what part of the over all safety picture is that not? Respectfully d [/QUOTE]
