[QUOTE="quad decade guy, post: 4189993, member: 77939"] Since you really have no idea how I conduct myself in these situations, I will explain. I ALWAYS try to make contact with the person of interest first, ALWAYS, if possible. Depending on the reaction(sometimes positive, mostly hostile) then step 2. I'll contact the Safety Co-Chair/Union Steward(we have two but one is so worthless we don't speak). If it's a in-house driver I'll reference him by name and we discuss. Step 3 can go many ways. Depending on how stupidly dangerous the situation is, the discussion can be generic or I stand there until we walk out together and observe. Example: We had an out of town Feeder driver that would stand on the cab catwalk(outside the cab) and release the brakes to let the coupled rig move away from the dock to close the rear door of the trailer . This is stupidly dangerous. You bet I mentioned this to EVERYONE. BTW, driver was eventually fired for accidents(later). See? We won't agree about some things. I have no interest in disciplinary action of anyone. PERIOD. But, I will not standby while innocent co-workers(or myself) are exposed to stupidly dangerous behavior. Here's one more: Every night, I would wait inside the building for my trailer to finish loading. I observed a part timer surfing the upper belts-again and again for several [SIZE=3]nights. This is stupidly dangerous. I could go on and on. I'm curious-say you observe a toddler moving towards a swimming pool, do you just turn away and drink your beer because it's the parents job? Obtuse and idiotic. [/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
