[QUOTE="anonymous4, post: 1082654, member: 30532"] What do I see off the top of my head? People passing along leaking packages, walking on moving belts; also crawling on moving belts under the delusion it is OK. Desecuring belts you didn't personally secure. Insiders passing along heavy rollers that will slide down chutes/slides, passing objects from inbound-sort-outbound with dangerous objects protruding, begging for a hand to "grasp wrong opposite corner" and get penetrated. How about egress stacked 4+ feet high because of packages being crammed way too fast down the belt system. Stacking in sort isles to try and keep the flow of packages going unabated, entombing them/creating hazards/blockades in said isle. These are just a few of the violations I see combinations of every day. The kicker is all of them are done by supervisors just the same as hourlies. For constant micromanagement that goes on to be in the favor of UPS production, they would surely notice and crack down on these things. Quite the contrary. I don't know if the supervisors work too much to supervise or perhaps silently offer encouragement by looking the other way to break rules in the name of speed (from an inside-the-building perspective here). However, they themselves "lead by" in all of those examples above as I witness LOTS of soup doing the wrong thing and teach it to hourlies in the name of sprouting productivity. Some of those examples obliterate entire fragments of the DOK and safety drivel so how can safety be first at UPS? The DOK are so common sense based it stupidly becomes impossible to follow all of them, all the time and perhaps more importantly expect the knuckleheads around you to accomplish the same. However, a level of protection can be accomplished by using them for the foundation of safety. Although injuries are just a matter of time with the environment and insentient need to push for more or else. Management is not exactly leading a highly trained, highly conditioned, highly motivated workforce. The line is crossed when they expect the same performance from people not able/not willing to preform the way UPS expects them to at that given moment in time. Management blatantly violating/allowing dangerous situations to unfold has to stop at some point.
