[QUOTE="livinitup, post: 266753, member: 8275"] I have been a responder for 6 years. I am in the same position as you... All the other responders are out on injury. So, I have to stick around and clean up the mess. I would much rather be out delivering getting lots of overtime, but this is what I understand about being a designated responder. If your primary job function is loading truck then after 6 months of being a responder you can elect to discontinue being a designated responder. If it hasn't been 6 months ask your manager to put the position up for bid. They are supposed to have more than one responder per shift. It is my understanding that if it leaks then a responder must process it. The fact that it isn't hazardous only means you can direct the supervisor or any other employee to clean up the spill, but you must still dispose of it following proper procedures. This is so if there is more than one spill you are focusing on the more dangerous spill, but that the other ones still get cleaned up. It is your job to clean up the spill and dispose of the damaged items either through the DMP or By the Non-regulated book procedures and do the report. However, you can give the packages that need to be rewrapped to the clerk. Usually, the rewrap process is what can be time consuming, especially if its a box of wine or Monavie. I have been told by the Hazmat training coordinator that we should process the damages that can be rewrapped during the sort. This is to make service on the package. If it is liquid and is damaged it will have to be returned to the shipper so I usually process them at the end of the shift. If you continue to have problems with your supervisor go directly to you sort manager and explain your issues. Generally the are more understanding and are more concerned with customer service than the part-time supervisors. [/QUOTE]
