[QUOTE="Integrity, post: 1723316, member: 26800"] dantheman52, That is awesome that you didn't change anything during audits. Were you ever trained on the proper use of the VHE? [U][B]I agree with you, [/B][/U]simply reciting the 8 steps of lifting and lowering a package [B][U]is [/U][/B]absurd. Demonstrating you know how to lift the UPS way by doing the 8 steps occasionally is fine, [B][U]if[/U][/B] it is followed up with enforcement of the 8 steps by the use of progressive discipline for those observed not using the 8 steps. The 8 steps for lifting and lowering should [B][U]not[/U][/B] be used to blame an employee when they get a lifting/lowering injury. It should be used as a standard of how lifting is expected to be done while working as UPS employee and a Teamster if you are union. Individuals who refuse or are incapable of lifting according to these steps should be cared for by being coached to correction using whatever means necessary. If they can't do it, for their own safety and the good of the company and the union, they should be relieved of their duties. Sincerely, [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=7]I [/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
