We are hearing that in Pennsylvania.Is this a Corporate thing or just our District thing??
Why dosn't mgmnt reallly just tell us they only care about "saftey" because it affects their bottom line. If a world existed without workers comp or insurance they would care less if we got hurt or in an accident. It is ALL about money and that is it. Target Zero just means more money in their pockets. Be safe for yourself and family because thats what really matters not their stupid propaganda.
Yea, I chose to hurt my arm in 95 and be out of work for 5 months, and lose all that pay, and ......................MORONS!
I've been in on safety meetings where mgmnt has told us how to get a driver to admit he was at fault for any accident/injury (thats when I quit). I have to believe for my own personal values that UPS cares only about the bottom line and that saftey affects that bottom line.Deezil: I agree it is what really matters...but if management is not talking about safety, unfortunately a greater number of employees will in fact get injured or be involved in accidents...call it propaganda if you wish, but perhaps someone listened and it made a difference...
We have come a long way with injuries and accidents...and yes, it does result in cost savings to the organization and less pain/suffering to the employee...it's a win/win for both...
Safety in my opinion is the largest variable we have as an organizaton when it comes to cost...Production/efficiency is also important, but Safety should be first ....the production numbers will always be in a certain range....
Speed, how did you hurt your arm? Working too fast by choice? Not taking the second or two to think how am I going to lift that package )which by after doing such for everybox shoudl come without hesitation)...not letting the wheels move first before turning that steering wheel? Or perhaps you had something happen that was not your fault/choice at all??? Your screen name suggests that you are afterall - a Speed Demon!!
