[QUOTE="soberups, post: 467626, member: 14668"] The "big boys" have been aware of the problems for years now, and have no intention of ever doing anything about them. The "big boys" are the ones who originally made the business decision that the life of the driver was not worth the additional $40 expense of a 3-point belt. No offense to you, Steve, but nothing you say or do at this point is going to change their minds. The ONLY way to force management to start making REAL changes....is to quit playing their compliance games altogether. If every safety committee nationwide started networking and confronting UPS in a united manner, things could change. If the company wants to pass its Keter audits and avoid fines, then start putting the 3-point belts and power steering into the older cars. Cooperation with UPS's "safety programs" should be directly proportional to UPS's willingess to upgrade its older equipment. No seatbelts? No passing the tests. Pay to play, baby. If a company has made a decision that your life isnt worth a $40 seat belt, I see little point in participating in a safety program whose only intention is to help that same company avoid being fined. Until the safety committees become united and start confronting the company with threats of witholding participation, safety at UPS will begin and end with doughnuts, socks, word games and acronyms.
