[QUOTE="BigBrownSanta, post: 314927, member: 11097"] Load Stand, With all due respect, you're full of :censored::censored::censored::censored::censored:!!! It's amazing how you convienently leave out the first part of the factors that contribute to injuries, which is the "sense of urgency" from unreasonable production standards. I'll bet if you were to closely examine every one of those injuries, you would find that the employee was trying to hurry to meet some sort of production quota such as making a commit time for NDA or getting to a pickup before they close, or wrapping up a load area before the driver's start time... I could go on, but you get the picture. People don't think twice because they don't have the time to think twice. Their choices are very clear, think twice and take longer which leads to harassment from management because you're not trying hard enough or just hurry to keep people off your back. Most will just hurry. My interpretation: We don't care about addressing a safety issue because we meet OSHA/DOT minimum standards. Don't like it? Quit. It seems (to me) the company CAN afford injuries and accidents when it turns a blind eye to the true factor that leads to injuries and accidents and works at just meeting the MINIMUM OSHA/DOT safety standards by having a dog-and-pony show of a "safety committee". If the company were truly sincere in reducing injuries and accidents, then they would work at finding legitimate solutions that actually reduce injuries and accidents not just trying to meet the "minimum standards". Waaagghhh!!! Using the competition as an excuse to force employees to choose between safety or production is a cop-out. This company has made a profit every year even with fedex, the post office and dhl being in existence. I have never seen a company that whines as much as UPS does about competition... The post office subsidizes itself with mail... waaaggghhh dhl is owned by a government, waaaaaaggghhh fedex doesn't have to pay labor costs, waaaagghhh Everything you posted is nothing more than corporate minded propaganda, or BS. Maybe this company should take the time to focus on servicing their existing customer base and getting it right before trying to develope more volume. [/QUOTE]
