[QUOTE="Integrity, post: 5342630, member: 26800"] In the short term: If this is being done correctly the one thing I might add is the UPS local manage should frequently remind employees to drink water throughout the day, especially on extreme heat days. I understand your point I probably would make the same bet, as to the circumstances behind probable dehydration, I would want to know what was determined in the injury/illness investigation report before I determined the root cause of this incident. I definitely wouldn’t take a “blame the worker attitude, I believe in fix the problem and not the blame. I do hope he had a good steward present during this report. Agreed! Ours too. I see your logic but I believe this could be construed as theft.I never bring company supplied water home. I agree this makes no sense. As I understand and interpret OSHA requirements UPS is responsible to supply a cooler and ice to keep the water they provide suitably cool. Not sure. Good question. [/QUOTE]
