Heat Protections for UPS Employees in California only. (On topic only please)

[Lineandinitial]

You don’t view this as a serious issue?

Incredibly stupid people running loose in the workplace is a much more serious concern.
When they get themselves run over because they’re examining the width of a crack in the drive the problem will solve itself.

How about self responsibility? Don't sit on your arse, go outside and sweat knowing you have to work in the heat.

Fluffy don’t play that. Too easy to blame others. Typical drunk.

My understanding is the UPS is obligated under California OSHA regarding this standard.

Wrong again, as usual.

Just like Federal OSHA, who has jurisdiction over buildings, loading and unloading, but not while covered by another Federal Agency, Cal OSHA is the same. They do not have jurisdiction over Commercial Motor Vehicle Drivers. DOT (FMCSA) does.

Cal/OSHA lacks jurisdiction where jurisdiction over occupational health and safety is vested by law in, and actively exercised by, another state or federal agency and Cal/OSHA is not required to assert jurisdiction as part of the California state plan approved by the federal Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). United States Code, title 29, section 667(c); Labor Code sections 50.7, 6303, and 6307.

I really don’t. It’s a common sense issue. No reason to bring more archaic bureaucratic agencies that just shuffle around and doesn’t actually do anything.

Yep.

@Integrity wants the Government, via OSHA, to force his employer to tell him how much water to bring, to force him to bring that much water, to force him to drink that much water so that he stays hydrated and doesn’t drop from heat exhaustion.

He can’t take any personal responsibility. He wants the Government to do it for him.

He wants the Government to control every aspect of his life. He can’t function without the Government telling him what to do.

This main focus of this thread is employer responsibility.

Feel free to start a thread regarding the employees responsibility in taking this serious recognized job hazard serious as they do their job.

Disagree. With your opinion and interpretation of this.

 

[Wally]

The main focus is heat protection which begins with personal responsibility.

I think OSHA is doing a good job with this issue. Not a perfect job, but a good job.

 

[Integrity]

Yep.

No.

Feel free to start a thread regarding the employees responsibility in taking this serious recognized job hazard serious as they do their job.

So, by stating this, you are saying that you only want people to post in this thread who are going to agree with you about employer responsibility, thus stroking your ego. You don’t get to decide who will agree or disagree with you in one of your threads. Why the obsession with this? You’ve started four or five threads on the heat and employer responsibility and whenever people disagree with you, you start a new one. Give it up.
