[QUOTE="soberups, post: 502525, member: 14668"] I dont hate managements safety agenda. I merely feel that it is dishonest and misleading. Safety [I]begins[/I] with proper equipment, proper facilities, and a fair time allowance for the work to be performed. Empty catch phrases and acronyms are no substitute for these basic foundations of safety. UPS has made a business decision in many cases to refuse to provide these basic foundations of safety, choosing instead to shift all responsibility for accidents and injuries back onto the employee. The [I]intent[/I] of UPS's safety programs is not really to keep us safe, it is to reduce liability and exposure to OSHA fines. The program was designed by lawyers, not drivers or package handlers. For my part, I will put the same level of effort into passing the Keter audits as UPS has put into providing [I]all[/I] of its employees with proper equipment, facilities and allowances. What UPS will get from me is the absolute bare minimum I am legally and contractually required to provide, and not a damn bit more. [/QUOTE]
