[QUOTE="728ups, post: 1082565, member: 33372"] In my center safety has become a very high priority,and unlike many centers it's not just Lip Service. We have a very active safety committee and 5 days a week 4 to 5 drivers are brought in for DOK questions and as a driver we group we are told at least once a week we are expected to both know as well as follow the 5 seeing eye habits,10 point commentary,8 keys to lifting/lowering,5 rules for backing , Yard Control as well as using 3 Points of Contact. Safety tips are both given in the morning PCM as well as a message thru the DIAD every afternoon. Until a couple of years ago the annual Safety Ride lasted about half an hour and of you could demonstrate you could drive without killing someone you passed. Now the rides last at least half a day.All of the seeing eye habits are demonstrated,as well as explained in depth,not just recited. Driver Drills are performed and the Supe observes every motion the driver makes . It aint a joyride any longer for either the driver or the Supe I havent heard production mentioned in over a year but if a driver's Telematics report shows unsafe habits( Recording in Travel,Seatbelts,Bulkhead Door) that driver gets a meeting with the center manager and the steward,and as a result the centers Telematics report usually looks very good.We were expected to follow Telematics thru peak as well,no exceptions.
