[QUOTE="washington57, post: 861152, member: 25212"] Dragon, I agree with you on everything you just said. Thats life, toughen up and be prepared, you are gonna get hot. However, I think that UPS could do more for its workers health when it gets hot. Like you said, it is gonna get hot year after year for the rest of your life, UPS also knows this as well. Some parts of UPS do a good job of preventing heat injuries but a lot do a bad job of it.I think any day it gets over 90 UPS should have all these things ready to use: all vents on and strategically opened bay doors, fans by trailers, fans over all work areas would help reduce alot of heat injuries. From a cost side of it, isn't a little bit more overhead worth the costs in injuries and slower worker productivity. Also, the employees will hate you that much less for it. [/QUOTE]
