[QUOTE="Dracula, post: 1015884, member: 42691"] Looking back on what I said, I have to say, what I was primarily talking about was driving, and not injuries. With injuries, there are a lot more variables at work. And sortaisle is right, almost every injury is classified as preventable by UPS. So while I think safe driving is each driver's responsibility, injuries on the job are a much stickier situation. I mean, if you get in an awkward position trying to grab a heavy package jammed underneath a shelf of a package car, and you slip, fall, or lose your balance and get hurt, how is that honestly pinned on the employee, and not the nature of the job?
