[QUOTE="greengrenades, post: 1308868, member: 36255"] I've never really thought about calling OSHA, I have thought about calling the UPS 1800 number a few times, which usually does the trick. We have a bay door that has a rain guard that hangs down, so anytime someone put a swing door trailer in there you couldn't close it. So we were forced to pull the trailer out with open doors, then get out and close them ourselves. I didn't like this because I didn't want to break a door off and be blamed for it. So I texted my manager, he looked at it, and they decided instead of fixing it to just stop putting swing door trailers in there. This worked for a week then they went back to it. They gave me the same door to pull off and I refused to pull it without the doors latched, as well as a few others. I told them I was going to have to call the 1800 number if it wasn't fixed and a few days later it was. I don't think I would ever call OSHA unless it was my last resort. For some reason I just have a feeling that if I did something like that it would grow into something a lot bigger than I wanted it to be. Also I hate when OSHA or Liberty Mutual people come on the yard, management has a cow, and they start making you take test, watching you more carefully and doing all the safety BS that is not necessary, but makes them look like they are doing something.
