[QUOTE="Brownnblue, post: 327191, member: 1941"] Your post covered several things and was all over the board, but I will try to respond as best I can. I don't disagree with you that there are people at many positions at UPS who don't care. I also don't disagree that there are some drivers who won't attempt to learn safety issues. However I think that the vast majority of drivers do care about their craft and want to do the best job they can. I grossly disagree with the comment about posts in this thread not caring about safety. It seems to me the majority of complaints are about the "methods" used to implement and test the employees with this safety information. I did not read very much about the actual information itself, just the fear and intimidation methods used to have the employees get to know the safety material. You said that a great deal of time, effort, and resources go into the development of the safety dynamics. Why then can't that be taken just one step further and giving current employees some good old fashioned classroom training to not only learn the safety methods but see how they can best be applied in the course of a workday? I think I have mentioned this before, but I'll let you think about it again. I have a part time job umpiring and refereeing kids sports games. The classroom training I receive for this in order to keep my licenses TO UMPIRE A BALL GAME FOR EIGHT YEAR OLDS IS VASTLY SUPERIOR to any kind of training I get at UPS. If its "loudmouth blowback", so be it. [/QUOTE]
