[QUOTE="paganpink, post: 170501, member: 5419"] If someone is coming in and cleaning windows every night because of an injury then they are on TAW. Those are called DART injuries and are classified as OSHA code 3's. They aren't hiding anything from OSHA in trying to let the person earn their regular amount of pay doing a job that is less physical in some way from their regular assignment that continues to let them work at their assigned rate of pay. Disability pay is much less than a persons average pay. OSHA has no problem with that, and the CHSP programs, where OSHA prints guidelines that recommend hourly co-chaired safety committees, regular meetings, concerns logs in the areas, etc. etc. are all modeled (by the governments own admission) to be virtually identical to UPS's own program we developed in the 90's and OSHA then copied because they were so impressed by it. Also, although some areas have a higher frequency than the OSHA average for "service workers" be aware that that that category includes all sorts of jobs dramatically different than our own, including uniform cleaning service pick up/delivery drivers, hotel and motel housekeeping maids, etc. all lumped in together. By the way, even with those huge differences in phsicality between those jobs and our own, at the rate of decline in injuries UPS has continued to attain over the last five years, we will meet or beat even THAT funky "industry" average within the next 2-3 years.
