“On Topic Only” Hand Injures

[IVE GOTTA PACKAGE 4U]

I don’t see any reason for all package handlers not to have access to these types of protective gloves.

They pass them out here to the loaders. Just not to the drivers.

Do you report all hand injuries, regardless of the severity?

No.

That got cases of them. Every once in a while I ask the preload sup to snag me a few pairs.

I've gotten a week tops, then chuck em cause they stink. Best ones are Atlus (now Showa) 300s

No.

You are not following safety procedures by not reporting all hand injuries, regardless of the severity.

This should be corrected.

I’ve seen these kind too. They are actually similar to the ones I had that started this discussion.

They can stink up real fast. Put a little powder on your hands before you put them on and it isn't as bad.

Great. More to cram in my "lunchbox"

No. I work a farm when I’m not working for ups. My hands are always “injured” by your standards

And some deodorant and an extra pair of underwear

You're welcome

No thanks. I’m a man.

I set no injury standards.

A hand is either injured or it is not injured, it is that simple.

You would probably benefit from some gloves specifically designed to protect from injuries related to farm work.

Your gender has nothing to do with your responsibility to follow all safety procedures at your work place.

Technically an employee can get fired for not reporting all injuries to the hand, regardless of the severity.

Or I’m not a yuppy and consider my hands just fine

Does Bod count? I don't want to carry one of those murse coolers.

What is an injury?

You just told us you set no standard for what an injury is.

Technically, I’m not going to waste anyone’s time with a boo boo on my finger.

Yuppy? Really?

So how you personally consider your hand to be determines whether an injury is present or not?

No comment.

You need a big cooler to keep your food and drinks cold. Besides it doubles as a beer cooler on the weekends.

I can't teach you rookies everything

Does your facility provide gloves to package handler?
