We had one last week about protecting ourselves from the sun. But, when we want to order one of the new "safari" hats to protect our faces from the sun, they aren't available due to budgetary concerns.

Plus, unlike the socks, you can't order them and pay for them yourself. God forbid our ankles get sunburned though!

Did those fliers begin, "When launching fireworks from your butt,....."??

Can we get a moratorium on safety comm messages we get during the day. This is the most annoying thing while trying to make a delivery. Your trying to get the customer to sign, then you get a message about, make your sure your gas grill is operating correctly.

But with enough duct tape and bailing wire you can jury rig it.

good info to have.

toonertoo · 07-02-2009, 05:53 PM

Do not drink and handle fireworks was ours.
I said thanks for the en"lightening" advice.
We also had the poison ivy one, I displayed my body so everyone could see what it looks like (what poison ivy looks like, not my body)

And I never saw the stuff either, I think someone was burning it. Darn had they given that PCM a week earlier, I could have been saved, Not.

indeed it is, it is also good to know the best temperature and methods to cook your meat so you don't get e-coli. Just as it is very useful to know that I should check the batteries in my smoke alarms every month. But I don't think it is the function of a pcm to convey this information.

When you gas up on the way home, remember to pull the gas pump nozzle out of your car and return it to its cradle.

July is immunization month so they put up gross pictures of kids in third world countries with polio and others which made me want to

you should have driven home immediately and verified that it was working correctly.

no need to. i think Obama has already come up with that idea and will be implementing it very shortly.

soberups · 07-03-2009, 04:59 PM

Here's the deal; UPS is required to have a Safety Commitee in order to comply with an OSHA mandate. So they form the commitee which means creating a budget for it, and that budget must be spent. Of course, UPS does not want the Committee to have any authority or to ever actually accomplish anything; this could result in unwanted attention being paid to unsafe equipment, dangerous facilities with inadequate egress, or unfair production standards that force employees to work at an unsafe pace. So instead, the Committee is given nice, safe busywork to do like handing out fliers and water bottles or inventing new word games to play. That is why we get the silly PCM's or the endless acronyms to memorize; to keep our attention diverted away from the real issues that would actually make a difference.

labels_up · 07-03-2009, 05:15 PM

Used to be in our hub the safety people would walk around giving you safety points if they saw you doing things the right way....for awhile they were giving them away if you answered a CSA question and made a free throw shot (what the?) and now...they seem to be doing....nothing?

When you guys were little, didn't you want to be asstronauts?

Re-Raise · 07-03-2009, 05:28 PM

They told us not to shoot fireworks off in your house.... I am not making this up.

Someone asked how many routes we would be running the next day(JUl 3) and they had no idea.

Lets see 30 drivers at $42 an hour for 5 minutes a day being told not to shoot fireworks in the house equals $525 for the week.

Hey we could have run 2 more routes today...
