[QUOTE="quad decade guy, post: 4362209, member: 77939"] How does any accident ever happen? Just because you are a UPS pkg driver doesn't mean you are very bright or have common sense. Most accidents are preventable as are injuries. Not always but mostly. Based on personal experience(40 years) a lot of our co-workers(and here) dismiss safe work practices and methods as not applying to themselves. Too big a hurry and too self-important to work safely. That's for other folks. My guess is the driver calculated how much time a train delay would cost him and gambled. And lost. We really need to consider mgt's role. They will say always be safe, safety first. But it's much, much more complicated than that. Guaranteed mgt would question a delay of any length, even at a rr track. We all know. Perhaps accuse a driver of stealing time. The constant productivity threat can make people do stupid dangerous things, while hurting themselves or others. How does this happen? Easy. [/QUOTE]
