[QUOTE="Article 3, post: 3243494"] Our CHSP guru told me that there were two incidents in NY that were the catalyst in forming the program. #1. Allegedly, a NY pkg car driver in a metro area had a leaking pkg in his load that was emitting fumes. He was told to dispose of it and did so by throwing it into a sidewalk trash container. The fumes drifted into a nearby restaurant causing patrons to get sick. It quickly became a major [U]public[/U] health issue. Strike one. #2. Again, allegedly in NY a ups tractor/trailer caught fire from combustion of something loaded into the trailer as it was being transported over the road a made the (EPA?) news. The settlement from repetitive transgressions allegedly birthed the CHSP Program. I read that the HABITS initiative, 95-97 or so, was also precipitated from documented repetitive injuries company wide. Ergonomics was the new flavor of the moment and it was all ditched later.... probably after the committed time period expired. [/QUOTE]
