[QUOTE="GUTHREE, post: 546048, member: 6194"] About 18 years ago, I can remember hearing a hellacious scream early in the morning during the preload hours. It was a scream that left you will chill bumps up and down your neck. Apparently a pre-loader had jumped up on the belt to break a jam and someone turned the belt back on. She got her leg caught in some metal diverter thingy, and ended up having to be careflighted out of the building. I'll never forget hearing that scream that made you almost buckle to your knees. I can understand UPS being a stickler for safety, for something like this would only take one time. Sorry to hear about that dude, you will probably get your job back. Sounds like a suspension coming, maybe, and i bet you'll never get back on that belt again. Keep your head up, unless they can prove that you're a total careless and at risk behavior employee,(lol) you'll be fine. I'm sure they would wanna take the "safety methods" route. We just had a supervisor over here give a driver a WARNING LETTER for not "lifting with his legs", while being observed on area. ***. Has it all come down to this???? [/QUOTE]
