I totally agree. I couldnt get 1.footing, 2 access to the safety, 3 access to the lever, and it was the same the day before with my sup. But the next day, it was "good to run, use the key", the key didnt work. So once I did get it open with help from a customer, and feeling like a total jerk, coz I had to ask some girl who probably never lifted over 10 pds to come out and turn the handle when I said, and not before or Ill lose a finger....How ergonomically impossible is this maneuver? I had to use my knee to push it up, and the panel with a lip was so low and Im pretty tall like most guys, push one left push one right and LIFT. My knee hurts like heck, feels bruised inside, not b&b yet. The management was unaware it was retrofitted in the body shop.We had a driver tear his bicep trying to open the rear roll up door on a retrofit keyless entry 10 cube. UPS never trained him on how to open it. You have to wait a 8 seconds or something and it only goes up one panel at a time.
Safety first but no safety training for this driver and now UPS wants to blame him.
Shame on UPS and shame on the Union for not making sure these keyless entry systems are safe and that employees are properly trained.
Production first; everything else last
Dont get me wrong I feel it will be a blessing as my carpal tunnel is really bad especially when cold and the repetiveness of the fob is much better than the key, but it was a known to those who install them in hubs and large centers, that the instructions were wrong for a retrofit, shouldnt that info have been passed on? I dont know how many times a day I tried with 2 pushes to get that door open, and wait 15 secs for reset. and do this fruitless maneuver again and again. It was not til I cleared my head, when I was off the road, I said, everything else works something is wrong, so I pushed it three times for shts and giggles and..................... click.
A simple heads up to the crew could have eliminated all this hassle, all this wasted time.
Do not even try to talk to me Monday about my overallow. Eat it if you people knew what was going on, I could have had dinner with my family, instead of figuring out what you should have known. go yell at someone else, dont come to me.
