[QUOTE="35years, post: 4189807, member: 60822"] Put it all together... 1. You see that nothing gets done even though we have a safety committee. 2. We are by far the company with the most OSHA reportable injuries. 3.You know that management hides injuries and accidents. 4 You also know that UPS continues to risk employees' health and safety by working delivery drivers until 11 p.m., at peak and in 150 degree trucks in the summer by choice. So what do I think the safety committee is for???... All show. Perhaps to lower insurance costs. Perhaps to keep safety issues from becoming contract issues. If it costs more to fix a safety issue than leave it be guess what happens? So after over 3 decades of being told one thing on safety rides and another on production rides; being told to dump leaking haz mats down a storm sewer; seeing managers pressure doctors to rush drivers back after injury; pushing drivers to violate their injury restrictions; denying work comp claims for no reason etc. etc.... I AM JADED, WITH GOOD REASON. So no, I don't have any expectation that the safety committee will have any significant impact. I have seen how management trys to get committee members to "observe" specific drivers so they can put pressure on them. And I am not afraid to call a rat a rat. [/QUOTE]
