[QUOTE="scratch, post: 1349955, member: 1674"] There is a fourth type of driver that does Intersection and On-Area Observations, an injured driver put on light duty and forced to "join" the Safety Committee to continue receiving a paycheck. I have been doing this the last two weeks, as I posted in another thread, I had hernia surgery today. The intersection audits consist of writing car numbers, watching driver following distance, if they look left-right-left, count 1-2-3 at startup, leaving one car length, and in-cab distractions like cell phone use. I stood out in the open in plain sight and did mine. I gigged a supervisor who was driving a P-700 while training a new driver the other day who pulled out of the building with a rear door swinging wide open. The On Area consists of blowing the horn to prevent dog bites, safely lifting and handling packages, safe driving skills like following distance, coming to complete stops, using 4-way flashers, making eye contact with pedestrians and other drivers at intersections, and using the horn at backs. I have to call the driver to find out where he is and drive a package car to the area to follow or ride around with him for 10-15 stops, there is nothing sneaky about it. They all score high since they know they are being watched. These audits are really pointless in my opinion, I just earned my full pay instead of going on workman's comp. $340 a day verses $105 a day workman's comp pay in my state is a no brainer. Putting the driver's name on the audit sheet is OPTIONAL. Both of these audits are then entered into a Liberty Mutual website WITHOUT THE DRIVER'S NAME, they are just looking for numbers. [/QUOTE]
