[QUOTE="Integrity, post: 794654, member: 26800"] Hpaxster, I hope you have a wonderful New Year! In response to your above qouted post, maybe it is something new. There is a UPS Safe Work Methods pocket card, that is relatively new, that references using the designated walk path. This would imply that there [B]is[/B] a designated walk path for each address and who better to know this than the person responsible for the time study of the route. In response to your statement "the driver is supposed to use their judgment to take the most expeditious path while doing that in a safe manner." If this is true then we are all to believe that the time studies of UPS have no consistent criteria for establishing the walk path that each route driver is to take when delivering. The time studies would then be contingent on the personal judgement of each and every driver, this doesn't seem very probable. How would you know the time measurement if you don't the designated walk path. They are clearly both related to each other. This would also mean, if the standard is the judgement of the driver as to what walk path to use, then there will never be an injury that is termed avoidable if the [B]only[/B] reason for the injury is the path that was taken. By this logic and practice we should never see on an injury report, "failed to stay on designated walk path" because it is the driver that designates the walk path anyway. Sincerely, [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=6]I[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
