What is one thing in your facility that you would like to see formally reported to OSHA?

[Integrity]

If you’re dumb enough to crawl in there then you get what you get

I think that is over simplifying the hazard and what might improperly motivate an employee to make such a grave mistake.

Not really pinch points but we successfully got our boxlines inspected such that certain sharp edges were sanded down. I would suggest if anyone has a run-down boxline to coordinate with their BA to get them inspected by safety kiddos since cuts and scrapes (while they are often minor) remain our most common injury.

The same can be said for package cars. There are certain spots in the rear and up front that can cut you up.

On rare occasion, the chain can lose tension and slip, allowing two bins from the boxline to collide against each other.

Nice post.

I'm surprised he didn't quote Article 18 or punch anyone that tried to intervene in any way.

My experience with my Local has been awesome, the Executive Board are some of the hardest workers and I have the utmost of respect for what they do.

My experience with management has been the opposite. Very much as you described.

Can't recall any meaningful safety changes brought about by any mgt. or union administration. In 40 years.

Hey @BigUnionGuy

When was Article 18 Section 18 added to the NMA?

Was it over 40 years ago. I'm pretty sure it wasn't but I may be wrong.

You see this @Wally

The people have spoken

You don’t have to be management to make changes. 3 step process can sometimes work for Safety issues.

1. Safety Committee
2. If no response from Safety Committee, then Article 18 Safety Grievance.
3. If no response from Article18 Safety Grievance, then formal complaint with OSHA.

Step 4. You now have been targeted by management and will be fired shortly

This reply makes no sense.

That is sad.

Sorry to hear that.

Did you get beat up a lot as a kid

In high school, he was the type we would shove in a locker.

If you have followed the process and this does happen then you will be in a strong position to file serious charges against the company.

However, if you do follow the process most likely they will target everyone you work with and give you the credit for it. Management knows you are protected from retaliation.

No.

In my High School no one would have even considered doing such a thing. To me or anybody.
