[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 781691, member: 12508"] Over here, one way management will tag you with an accident is for not using the horn at every possible point of contact...parking lots, driveways...anything. Our standard is " the accident is preventable unless the driver did [I]everything possible [/I]to prevent the accident, up to and including [I]anticipating the hazard". [/I]In other words, unless someone rear-ends you, it's preventable, and if you didn't honk the horn as Grandma plows through that 4-way with her 1966 Buick Electra, it's on you. Sounds like UPS is taking a page from the FedEx playbook, which is to blame the employee whenever possible for accidents and injuries, even when they probably were not preventable. Using this sort of logic, if a piece of space junk falls-off a satellite and hits your truck, it's your fault because you didn't anticipate the hazard and/or tap your horn. Welcome to Package Hell.
