[QUOTE="mnnice, post: 489802, member: 20658"] My real world is all about safety not only my own, but my families also. I will never quit reading the Safety Committee propaganda because it affects everyone. I think when you make your statement that the company doesn't spend millions on safety training you tend to forget that training is involved in every operation throughtout the country and not just in your operation. Every driver in the country must recieve a full day safety ride which is done by the on-road supervisor or center manager. The management time alone for this training would be in the millions. Each PT person must also recieves safety training one day a year which adds to the total. Each operation throughout the country has Safety Committees which are allotted hours for meetings and misc. which are based on the number of employees in the operation. These hours are added to the total. Every employee must view the Haz. Mat video each year plus the Lock Out video which is probably an hour . These hours are added to the total. Every two years an on-road supervisor must take a 20 hour class to improve their training skills and knowledge of the 5 Seeing Habits and 10 Point Commentary and be able to demonstrate their ability to train a driver. These hours are added to the total. Every new driver has to go through an orientation prior to driving which includes a lot of safety training. These hours are added to the total. Every Feeder on-road supervisor has to take a two week course on every aspect of training and driving a tractor trailer before they can train a driver. These hours are added to the total. Every Safety Committee Co-Chair and management person on the Safety Committee must take 8 hours of training prior to being on the committee. These hours are added to the total. Anytime an accident or injury occurres there is follow up hours of training that must take place the following day and before the individual comes back to work. These hours are added to the total. On area observations are performed by management people to insure employees are using the proper methods for driving and working. These hours are added to the total. Once a month every employee must take the "Keter Audit" questions. These hours are added to the total. I could keep on going on, but hopefully you get the picture. If I added all these hours up and added the proper dollar amount to them, they would be in the millions without a doubt. You are right, we do spend money on making sure we pass the Keter Audit and we don't get fined by OSHA, but you fail to realize that if we pass the Keter Audit and don't get fined by OSHA we have made a safer place for you to work in. What is that worth to you? [/QUOTE]
