[QUOTE="browniehound, post: 413703, member: 4653"] It tick's me off a bit about what UPS thinks about safety. They want us to know the 5 seeing habits, 10 point commentary, 5 rules of backing, 8 keys to liftering and lowering, and 5 steps to preventing slips and falls. Then they want us to work in a blizzard and apply those methods? I understand they don't want packages sitting at the center, but if you are risking even 1 human life to try to get "what we can deliver", I think its too much. I think they put more than 1 life at risk when they send us out in a blizzard. I can sit with my center manager and recite word for word every element in the first paragraph. He thinks if I know this I will not get into an accident or suffer an injury. I agree that I might be less likely to suffer one than someone who doesn't know it. However, if you send me out in a snowstorm it will do no good. I'll work your methods, but if you still blame me in 12 inches of snow and 65 MPH winds, I will say you are wrong and most people will agree with ME. [/QUOTE]
