I really feel sorry for anyone that has,any preventable accident,or any comp. injury this year.
My TM showed me the new 2007 monetary penalties that will be forfited from the terminal that said accident,or comp.claim is filed againest.
Its not a pretty thing,these fines being levied are going to be a very big drain on the terminals operating expences.
I'm seeing a lot more safety training these days compared to our once a month safety meetings in our past Overnite Transportation life.
Anyone involved in any unsafe act where they may have to take time off,and have the company pick up their medical costs.
As well as UPS fining their terminals Operating budget.
This after all the safety training we are receiving.
Well alls I can say is I really feel sorry for you,and I would not want to be in your shoes.
Yes UPS is very serious on preventing,and avoiding any kind of injury to any of us.
The old Overnite thinking is gone which was
(production,production,production),now its the new to us UPS Freighters (SAFETY,SAFETY, SAFETY).
This is the way UPS looks at their operation.
Any unsafe practise,with lost time,injury payments,and accident settlements can rub out a whole lot of revenue from a great many hours of production.
So here you go,out with the old Overnite way of thinking,and in with the new to us UPS way of moving freight ,safety first production second.
