[QUOTE="outta hours, post: 468588, member: 4568"] I look at safety as a personal responsibility to myself. We all know, or should know the right way to do things. We allow ourselves to be put into compromising positions either from the pressure of others( management), or our own attempt to take a shortcut to save time. You can't put a SPORH or over/under allowed on safety. It doesn't work that way. Working safely and doing the job right takes time. If you are doing something to save time like running to doors,speeding,leaving bulkhead door open, not wearing seat belt,carrying more than you should,stacking boxes to high on two wheeler,etc. Then you are not working safely. I promise you that anything you to do "save time" is probably not a safe thing to do. The big difference I have seen since going into feeders is in the area of safety. Safety really is number 1 at least in my dept. There is no talk of over or under or anything to do with the time needed to do the job correctly and safely. My fellow drivers will not compromise their safety for any reason. Most package car supervisors I have known would sell their soul to make the numbers. They will pressure you with whatever tactic is necessary to make you do the job faster. I hear lots of complaints how management does not care about safety. And you know what they don't. It's strictly a numbers game with them. Their only concern is when something goes wrong. Sad but true. So it is up to each of us to work safely for our own well being and our families. If everyone takes the time to do their job safely everyday, UPS will have no choice but to take notice and start putting safety first. Until then if safety is not first with you,then how can you expect it to be first with UPS. [/QUOTE]
