[QUOTE="FedEx2000, post: 758555, member: 13621"] First off, thanks for finally acknowledging that I do, in fact, know everything........far from it really. For which question? The backbelt policy was rescinded by corp. safety last December after they determined that they do not help prevent injury, but we still provide them to employees that want to wear them....I have a few. Regarding the refusing to go onroad due to adverse weather conditions, I have never done so nor had an employee refuse to...so I am not 100% sure. The closest thing I found in policy is P1-22 (Business Closings/Inclement Weather), but it deals more with employees not being able to get to work due to weather conditions rather than the refusal to go onroad due to safety concerns. I would have to talk to our district Safety Specialist to find out for sure. I think it's kind of a sissy move, but I grew up in the midwest, so I drove on crappy icy roads all the time and in CO blizzards when we got 3+ ft of snow in a couple hours......only got called in off the road once due to weather, this was pre-powerpad days and of course the truck I was in had no DADS unit. Didn't find out they called everyone in until after I had finished and called dispatch to clear...they didn't even know I was still out there. I didn't really think it was that bad, I was in a sprinter which is even worse than a 700, just a lot of snow......it was kind of fun really b/c people were amazed when you showed up at their house......it was 3 days before Christmas if I remember correctly.
