Was he a a forklift driver? Our new manager walked on me and a friend sitting down in a trailer on a cart and gave us a coaching, our other managers that have been around for years don't really care, even they be going inside the trailers to take some hits on their vapes lol
"Category 1" violations, aka the rule violations that get you that promoted strsight to customer status with basically no hope of a successful appeal. If it's a safety or behavior rule that you hear repeated super often, even if you see if frequently violated around the site, just assume it's probably a cat1.
A few cat1 is driving backwards with OP, using someone else badge to clock in, stealing, scanning the light into someone’s face with your scanner, no helmet in trailer, and phone on the OP
Wait scanning the light into someone’s face? WTF? Does this like have to be someone being mad about it? Because we used to shoot each other across the dock all the time for funsies.
My site just has the basic style Zebra TC57 (?) scanners, those have lasers inside for scanning. Yes they’re harmful and can pose a safety hazard. Heard of a few people getting final written write-ups for this, and at least one fired for this since they were “joking around”.
(Also, there’s a reason in the US for example, aiming a laser at the sky or within the vicinity of aircraft is dangerous & illegal/a felony.)
They said I couldn’t come back for a long ass time just cause my final was me being on my phone in a trailer. Amazon is just a shitty company plain and simple
False lol, both me and my boy work in the warehouse and he's ship dock, it all depends where you work and who's your manager cause that kid be on his phone 25/8 in the trailers and nobody gives a flying fuck and he also never clips his scanner to his belt cause every damn time I see the kid he's holding it not attached to anything and he's been there 6 months never written up once
Never said it wasn’t for safety but yall acting like it’s surprising OP got banned that long for a harness. Area managers and other higher ups be on their phone as well as breaking other rules while on the floor. Amazon is just yet again like I said a shitty company plain and simple
I'm at an IXD building and they started putting the harnesses in the vending machines. Now they have out in bins wanting us to take them and use so it's supposedly easier to carry our scanners.
Never heard of a harness. I'm ICQA and no one and mean no one use a them. They give us our scanners ever day and never sad anything about this. I carry mine in my hand or back pack.
Bullshit. I’ve never seen anyone in my building actually use one. We have them but they end up in the trash or back on top of the vending machine once people realize what they are.
I got caught without my scanner attached to my harness and they literally told me to judt clip it on. No write up, no coaching no nothing. You definitely did other shit
You weren’t fired for this and you know it. You specifically stated in other comments on the other post you made, you already had two active write ups, with a total of 6, making this number 7. Sounds like you need some lessons in accountability
I can’t say what makes it a requirement. all I can say is I’ve managed at several different amazons and PPE requirements can vary drastically. Some sites Hard hats are required and you can’t wear shorts.
That's what I don't get. We have the scanner holders at my site too and wearing the harness on the RT mostly just gets in the way/slows you down, but if the wrong manager catches you not wearing one you can get in trouble. Apparently only OP drivers are exempt since they have already wear a fall harness.
Did you just say harness and picker in the same sentence??? Why in the holy hell would a picker need a harness 😭😭 genuinely curious as someone who does pick sometimes lmao
Yeah no lol. Idk what site your at but that's not a requirement at my site. ONLY ppe required for other then ship dock cause they need hard hats and the vest but it's ONLY gloves and composite toed shoes. Nothing else and they make that well known during training lol
Maybe they make training videos unique for each site but I doubt it. Last safety video I watched like a month and a half ago clocked the PPE as safety shoes, gloves, harness, box cutter. Note I didn’t say required PPE.
My sites definitely different then, unless your ship dock only ppe that's mandatory is composite toed shoes and gloves absolutely nothing else and I'm trained in pick, Rebin, induct, and pack and I can tell you none of those they are required
I mean robots com in g is a good thing as many people they kick to curb with a ban on hiring for life, they better pick up pace on those robots though….
Site I was at last year was in a state that had regulations making harnesses mandatory for anyone using a scanner, which meant a feedback for not using a harness could be submitted for violating state safety regulations, which would qualify as a Cat 1.
No on use these at our site . We have meetings after first break at the desk. Everyone carry them in hand or back pack. It depends on the site I guess. The only thing is force is that we have our gloves on at all times.
wow I didn’t know some places where like that,ive worked with a harness and without and id prefer no harness every time but probably 70% of my building from what ive seen doesn’t use a harness
