Safety

Working in a warehouse and on road  environment has emphasized the importance of making safety the priority. At UPS, emphasizing the basics of body mechanics is key to preventing injuries. Other major areas of concern are slips, trips, and falls, yard control, and ladders and stairs, all of which are continuously stressed to employees to promote a safer workplace.
