[QUOTE="FracusBrown, post: 738659, member: 29360"] There seems to be much support for NOT getting rid of equipment that has the potential to cause injury. A bench grinder is NOT an essential tool in the UPS world and the job can be done by utilizing safer methods and tools. I agree that a grinder can be used safely if the operator takes the proper precautions. The sentiment of the board is KEEP THE GRINDER, HOLD THE PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE for injuries and fines. Why is it that many of the board regulars support the COMPLETE OPPOSITE when it comes to vehicles or anything else people don't like? If it were announced that all older vehicles are being eliminated due to safety concerns, there would undoubtedly be overwhelming support. If it were announced that due to safety concerns tire chains, SCBA gear, trash cans, manual car wash equipment, over 70 rollers, or anything else people would prefer not to have to use, people would simply say "Fine, I'm happy with it and if the job takes longer or can't be done, it's UPS' problem" Does this make sense? A grinder doesn't cause injuries, the people do. A vehicle doesn't cause injuries, the people do ????????????????? [/QUOTE]
