[QUOTE="Dumbo, post: 4136728, member: 67762"] I worked 13 hours in 114 degree heat index yesterday and didn't have a problem. Things UPS should do is add routes and turn Orion off. Most problems are from being in the back of the truck. They should encourage working from the front of the truck to the back to minimize time in the cargo area, not having you climb around a 300 stop truck for a 7000 package. That's pure idiocy. There are things you should do is take care of yourself. You are paid a lot of money to essentially be an athlete, so act like it. Eat well, sleep well, exercise, hydrate, stretch at home, implement stress controls, lower your bodyfat level. That is your job. The majority of heat incidents are due to your own lack of personal care. It's not UPS's job to force you to take steps in your health to reduce heat related incidents. It's common sense that higher blood pressure, eating too much sugar, basically being a fat ass, will raise your risk of pretty much anything. Other things UPS should be doing is giving tips through the day, such as "If you need to sort your truck, find a shady spot and open both doors", "If you have gas stations on route stop and ask for a free cup of ice", "don't wear underwear", etc. Instead of the same droning "hydrate" tip.
