Would you risk termination by refusing to operate unsafe equipment?

[QUOTE="slantnosechevy, post: 723792, member: 21514"] You forgot leaving the keys in the ignition or a spare key in the bulkhead. Or how about my favorite, leaving the car running while delivering. If you know that any of these violations are going on then by all means enforce them. You won't get an argument from me and I'm a steward. Obviously, management isn't doing their job if drivers are comfortable doing these things. Anyone with half a brain could spot these bad habits on an OJS ride as they fumble through the day out of their routine. As a member of a safety committee, if I witness these things happening out on area or in the yard I will give the driver a friendly tip and remind them that drivers have been fired for these things. All the more reason I welcome telematics. The vast majority of drivers who do it right on a daily basis will feel the same. It's interesting that 90% of the drivers who continue to practice these unsafe methods are bonus drivers or relatively new and haven't had any real extensive training because they make it through without any accidents and their overallowed is within reason. Those drivers are just plain lucky and so is UPS. They will tell you point blank that so and so supe knows about it and never said anything. I'm not saying all OCS's don't do their job but production is still at the forefront of some over safety. [/QUOTE]
