You hit the stop button. You are not lock out certified

You won't, they will pound this into your head several times a year. Everyone passes.

Don't steal, go to work at least 4 times a week, and don't get hurt. You might get lucky and be asked to become a supervisor by third week.
You don't need to be to shut a belt down. Hit the stop button and put the clip on it if there is a clip.
Lock out is an entirely different process.

Trainee Package Handler
Yeah, it's lock out that requires a specialist. However, the person who stops the belt is also the one who starts it back up. This stuff is stuck in my noggin now, lmao.
I'll be a package handler for 7 years then either quit when my game dev company takes off or seek a promotion while inheriting the family businesses during the day. that's the plan for now.

Find out how many hours you have to work per year to have that year count towards your PT pension then work that many plus a little more.
Thank me in 30 or so years.

You gonna be unloading, picking off, small sort, loading or clerk? With all except clerk, expect to be lifting a lot of packages, very quickly.
Thanks for the quick response.
I am unsure really what I will be doing, a friend who has worked there for quite a while said this was a local sort position?
I am well aware of the physical part of the job and am mentally preparing myself to jump right in.

There may be other positions, depending on your building, but those are the main ones that most local sorts will have. Basically you are unloading all the packages that the drivers pick up during the day and sorting them and loading them into the correct trailers. There will be thousands of packages, depending on the size of your building, possibly over ten thousand. You will likely start unloading cars or loading trailers. Both are fast paced, and you will be very sore until you adjust. Drink lots of water.
So ... here is my dumb question of the day
My background check is on its 3 rd day but the supervisor called me said when can you get here to do your road test I asked him if my background check came back he said they told me to call you is this the norm ?
