I go in every day seeing or hearing of dumb stuff that's been done. Now you would think it would slow or stop at some point. But I am amazed at least once a week on some of the things that are done to us or around us at the workplace. But this past Monday took the cake.
First prize.
This is one of three things that happened this week.
But I will just mention the one.
It's the most important.
First off. I am dock only. I don't drive. Haven't for years. Did at one time. Lost my cdl because of medical. So. I cannot leave the building.
Anyway.
Back to Monday.
We have mercury lighting on the dock.
They decide to finally clean the lights and replace the bulbs with led lighting.
Well. They sure look bright during the day.
But as soon as the sun sets. We lose 2/3 rd's of the lighting we had. We thought the old ones were bad. Boy. Was I wrong.
All I can say is it's very dim. 4 days of this and no fix. One guy left the second night and got a letter for it. I took the day off because of it. Today that is.
It's dangerous. Unsafe and irresponsible of management not to have an immediate fix on this. You cannot even read the paperwork or labels unless you are by a floodlight that illuminate the trailers.
Now everyone there knows this. Top to bottom.
Whether someone did anything about it today. I don't know.
But the saftey man was in on a conference call with the TM and the lighting company and the lighting company they contracted said it would be two weeks to start putting in ballasts and new led bulbs that are supposedly 3 times brighter.
This is totally unacceptable. And I am a reasonable person.
It's flat out dangerous and unacceptable to me that management has no respect for the safety for us that work the dock.
This is something I think all need to know.
I would post a pic but it's impossible to show in a picture. You just have to be there.
And someone here may have been there in the past 4 days and can chime in and confirm what I am trying to explain.
Thank you for your attention on this matter.
