[QUOTE="toonertoo, post: 306340, member: 1944"] Welcome back, nice to hear from you. In my opinion they are only concerned with safety, when it is the mistakes we make, not the mistakes they make. As you know every area has their safety concerns. With drivers its on and off vehicle and lifting, and driving accidents. With pt its load and unload. But when a ptimer is aloof and really doesnt car, it can cause driver injury, but no one wants to address it. They have the same excuse as we all do, overload, and probably rightly so. I got my hand smashed to smitherenes trying to unjam two fifty pound boxes on top shelf, not lip loaded, jammed on top of each other, and could not get them out from underneath the rail for the door. The door could not open more than 1/2 way, and I couldnt work that way. When I finally got it unjammed, the door flew open with my hand inbetween the box and the rail. The way the box finally came down pushed my hand into a bad area. I have no clue how he even got it loaded that way. He would have had to push it on top from the side, and I do not have that kind of strength I guess. Considering that the shelf was basically empty besides these three 50 pounders, my question is why not just lip load them. I stood there cursing under my breathe as i knew in a nano second it was going to hurt like heck, not to mention how much more those pinches hurt when its cold. I have asked him to not do this, that being able to open my back door is kinda important, but he just gives me the yada yada , im too busy, too many trucks, splitting the belt etc. My question is how can I be safe when I 1. cant open my door back door, watch for falling objects. 2. get a firm grip, when I got stacks on the floor, cant get close. Im ok, didnt go to doctor, as it isnt broken, just badly bruised. Its pretty ugly. But would it get more follow up If I did? Its not the loaders fault he doesnt have time to adjust the load or maybe hes never been taught. But I know I dont like the pain inflicted on me by someone else not having time to do their job correctly. In the long run someone pays, be it the customer or the hourly. In my opinion they dont care, until something bad happens. And then it will be my fault, the loaders fault, but never the companies fault. [/QUOTE]
