[QUOTE="Integrity, post: 1087300, member: 26800"] To All, For Discussion: The following was a posted response in a recent thread: [COLOR=black][FONT=Tahoma][B]The[B] rea[/B]son employees don't work safe is simple and clear. These individuals choose to do so. They have their reasons (insert any excuse here) and will continue to do so until they reach the end of their willingness to do so. As for the leadership of the Union not "putting a stop" to these unsafe practices, I believe mine does. I go to local meetings and craft meetings. I listen and ask questions. I use the information to re-enforce my UPS safety training. Instead of asking your original question here, you should ask the employee(s) you are witnessing make the unsafe work habit. I look forward to reading your conclusions after you start polling these "unsafe workers". [/B]I have decided to do just that. I know for a fact that "Egress" violations abound in the unload so I decide to take a trip back there and see if I could find someone to ask. It did not take long. The first unloader I came across had the VHE all the way out and packages were stacked to the sides all the way to the back. A clear UPS Safety training violation and also a clear OSHA violation. This a transcript of our conversation less my introduction and greeting. I : Have you received egress training? Unloader: Yes. I (pointing to the packages along the sides): Are you aware this is a violation of that training? Unloader: Yes I: Why did you unload in a manner that is not compliant with UPS egress training? Unloader( Pointing to his part-time superisor): He told me to put them to the side and keep the flow going. I: Your telling me you were instructed by your supervisor to unload in violation of the UPS egress safety training. Unloader: Yes, it happens all the time. I: Are you aware that you are responsible for working according to UPS safety training? Unloader: Yes, They only care when someone gets hurt so them can blame them. I: I care. You should follow the training regardless of what they say. You owe it to yourself. I: Thanks for your time. Take care of yourself. Unloader: See ya. I note the following violations from this one observation: 1. Unloader is failing to work safe by working in violation of UPS egress training and OSHA egress standards. 2. Part-time supervisor by failing to enforce the UPS egress training and OSHA egress standards is failing to maintain a safe work enviroment for his employees. 3. Part time supervisor is causing the unsafe practices by instructing his employee to work in violation of this training and these OSHA standards. I think this is enough for discussion now! Sincerely, [SIZE=6][FONT=times new roman]I[/FONT][/SIZE] [/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
