My Center Manager is trying to talk me into becoming a Safety Committee Co-Chair. I'm on TAW right now, I got a call this morning to attend a quarterly meeting with District/Zone/Division level management. UPS just opened a new Integrad School in Duluth, Ga, its not far form Corporate. We got to tour this facility and what they call "Tiny Town" next to it in the parking lot. I have never seen package cars so clean, I was shocked.

Would you be getting paid on top of your TAW pay??? Congrats on the "tiny town" training. Sure it was life changing. I was once on safety committee in the 90's till it became a "supervisor suck ass wanna be committee"....,,,

I got to tour a new Integrad school today, this was straight from somebody who knows.

Who... Monkey butt..lol did ups bring him back on contract to run the training school...please send pics scratch

If we are lucky.

And they want the selection to be .001 second per pkg even though Shiite is piled up on the shelf and floor.... Total fail

I think I got paid eight hours for Safety instead of TAW today, it was a short day. I had to drive an hour and a half through Atlanta rush hour traffic to get there, it is about 45 miles from my house. UPS spends about $45 million a year on safety hours, that's how much of a problem accidents and injuries are. I didn't get to drive the course, we were just walked through it after lunch. We weren't allowed to take photos because of an agreement with MIT and Virginia Tech which helped design it. Monkey Butt has nothing to do with this, he is retired.

In my building that 45 million is because the safety guys claim to be making copies for "safety" and bill an extra hour everyday. Thieves.

I ran 75-80% trace, but beat the miles. Recently this wasn't good enough, 85-90%trace, over on miles.... Not good enough either. I asked them to pick. Blank face vs. blank face.

They used to use Safety Committee members to shuttle around missorts until some managers got canned for it last year. Its an easy day off the road, our job stewards are on the committee too. Everybody should join the committee, it's supposed to be run by hourlies. Basically, I key in reports all day when I want to sit in the office.

In your experience scratch what percentage of accidents and injuries are caused by drivers trying to rush to meet some metric vs. real accidents or just cornball drivers ???

Well mgrs all across this country are using safety committee members to run misloads... Maybe they all should be let go

Yeah. Misloads after an 80 stop split and some observations.

They helped design some of the elements used for the indoor training like stepping on the scale to demonstrate the three points of contact, walking on slippery surfaces, some of the software in the classroom, etc. Its the same stuff you see in official published photos from the last several years. Its private property so no cameras are allowed. "Tiny Town"is right next to Interstate 85, you could just pull over and take all the photos you want.

And why shouldn't they? Managment shouldn't touch packages.

 

[MyTripisCut]

And why shouldn't they? Managment shouldn't touch packages.

Because they use safety committee members to not show as a shuttle or route being run and are in essence manipulating numbers. Also it should be a bidded job no? Two year safety guy gets the cushy job because of numbers? Cmon man.

I'm not a numbers guy, but a majority of accidents are avoidable. Distracted driving and poor decision making are the main reasons, they eat up about 30 per cent of company profits.
