[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 255982, member: 1944"] I understand it also, and I have no problem with someone doing it "once in a while" to get to a special event", but when it is continually done it hurts all of us. It makes us looks like slackers and them like stars. But in the end, mgmt knows. Dont talk safety, and allow these kind of injuries with no repercusssion. I had 4 injuries, 3 I can say were from being overloaded. 50 stops left at 5pm. Being smarter, instead of younger, I would have taken the OT, instead of the injury. But at that time, I was stupid. It should have been avoided, which is why it was labeled avoidable. Now when I have an accident or injury it is unavoidable. It takes me longer as I work as directed. I use my handrail, even when I dont need to. I watch where I am walking instead of stop completing and typing in my nest stop, on the way to some stops. I sometimes type in the name at a dead stop, instead of walking back to the truck and typing in the name on the way. Sometimes it just isnt safe to do. Im not really trying to be militant, just safe. Sometimes on the way up "you really need to be aware of your surroundings" and if you had a unsafe stop the stop before, you might not have done everything by the book, but you didnt fall, get bit or get run over. Things are not always black and white, and on the days that are you might get a big star for your efforts, but in reality most days arent like that. So be safe, do the job, take your rests and remember..............."the most important stop of the day is your last one, when you get HOME" [/QUOTE]
