[QUOTE="Integrity, post: 654686, member: 26800"] Dear altstewie, A nylon "forever" bag", as they are called, is a UPS supplied piece of equipment. If damaged in certain ways these bags can present a cutting hazard to anyone who may handle them. This is a valid safety concern. The Job Setup section of the UPS Safe Work Methods calls for inspection of equipment. These bags should be inspected and taken out of service when damaged. The zipper handle is probably a repairable item. I would consult your Hourly Employee Health and Safety Committee Representative and ask for the UPS established methods for inspecting and removing a "forever bag" from use. If one can not be produced, I would then ask for the name of the manufacturer of the nylon "forever bags" and find out from them when the bags should be removed from service. I have heard stories where one small open cut can lead to life threatening illnesses and infections. Sincerely, [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=6]I[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
