[QUOTE="IDoLessWorkThanMost, post: 293224, member: 12912"] About 2 or 3 years ago, an unloader had a wall collapse while he was on an unload stand. he fell backwards, hit his head on the belt control and was knocked unconscience and lost 2 teeth (molars). We were all very concerned for him and an ambulance came. All the sups were saying " get back to work dont worry about him" Isn't that awful ( but fashionable for management). All of us on the sort aisle were shocked to say the least.... Anyhow, dealing with the original post - the way I see it, having the stand in the trailer counts as "utilizing" it. If you don't want to use it, and you aren't doubled in a trailer (2 unloaders), go ahead and do it your way. Just make sure there's no sups on your back watching, and you're fine. Have the stand in there and go about your business. [/QUOTE]
