I just want to get peoples opinions on this problem were having in our building. Our supervisors have been getting complaints from other buildings that our small bags are not being closed.
Some people have been complaining that the bags dont have handles on the zipper part. So when they try to close them their hands get cut up or if they have gloves on it cuts their gloves up. Some bags they cant close because the zipper is messed up.
Management is saying the procedure for bags. Is look at tag, open bag, look for 3-5 small, then close bag. But if you dont follow closing the bag isnt that insubordination. I dont want anyone getting fired over this.
Is there any osha protections from trying to close these bags that dont have handles on them. Pretty much everything you can think of for a zipper has a handle on it. I would think cutting your hands on something would be a safety hazard. Also if people are cutting their hands on bags, wouldnt there be blood on these bags. Isnt that a biohazard.
What would you guys recommend me telling my co-workers.
