INFORMATION DATE 19891003 DESCRIPTION USDOL Program Highlights, Discrimination Protection for Trucking Employees SUBJECT Discrimination protection for trucking employees U.S. Department of Labor Program Highlights Fact Sheet No.OSHA 89-30 DISCRIMINATION PROTECTION FOR TRUCKING EMPLOYEES Surface Transportation Assistance Act of 1982 (STAA) gives the Secretary of Labor authority to investigate complaints by truckers, mechanics, freight handlers, and others involved in interstate trucking who believe they have been discharged or discriminated against for protected safety activities. Since provisions of Section 405 of the STAA covering commercial motor vehicle are similar to nondiscrimination requirements in Section 11© of the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, the Secretary has given OSHA responsibility for investigating these complaints. The Section 405 provisions set forth a longer time period for filing complaints, permit immediate reinstatement of discharged employees, and authorize compensatory damages and attorney's fees for aggrieved employees whose complaints are substantiated. STAA DISCRIMINATION PROTECTIONS Section 405 prohibits an employer from firing, demoting, or in any other way discriminating against an employee who: refuses to operate a vehicle which fails to meet safety regulations. reports violations of vehicle safety requirements. alleges that he or she has been exposed to significant hazards. or testifies or otherwise participates in safety related proceedings.

... you've done all these things, and the situation still doesn't change, it's time to "liberate" them. The fact is that a continued relationship will do both parties harm. There's an easy test of when it is time to "liberate" someone: If they quit, would you be relieved or upset? If the former, why are they still there? When counseling employers I often find that there are three reasons why we have a fear of liberating people. First, we're afraid that the "system" will walk out the door. When I recently spoke to a group of CEOs, one of them stated that she delayed firing her CFO for that very reason. At my office, we have Standard Operating Procedures for everything that everybody does. I call it the Mack Truck Rule. If a Mack Truck hit any one of us, somebody would be able to step in and do their job. For example, I own five Web sites. There's a ton of technology that went into them. If my IT person got hit by the Mack Truck or decided to get up and leave my company, I'd be in dire straits if I hadn't reduced everything that she knows and does to writing. I then had a third party review this summary and asked if they could step in and do her job, if needed. Until they said, "yes," we continued to refine the SOP. This is one way not to be handcuffed by an employee. You should be system dependent, not people dependent. Second, the fear of being sued ...

... never show on paper, but it's important to know what to look for. Specialists in safety, fire protection, security, and boiler protection all see different things. Risk managers need to see them all. Obviously, they can't see the detail apparent to the specialist, but they can have a general understanding of all fields to put them in perspective. Flow Charts For complex operations-say, a water-treatment plant-you may want to prepare a flow chart of the process. This is simply a diagram of what comes into the plant, internal flow, and what comes out of the plant as finished product. The object is to spot any bottlenecks and see what's important and whether loss of a single machine, building, or product could disrupt the entire operation. A chart showing inflow of goods by truck, rail, or air can be prepared to show where a risk of loss lies. An arrow showing shipments in by truck can indicate by some mark where title to the goods passes. At that point, risk managers know that they, rather than the shipper, have the risk of loss. Loss Reports Examination of property, liability, and Workers Compensation loss reports can provide clues as to what's happening. And safety people can say whether what has happened can still happen. Analysis over time can be most helpful in assessing current risks. Internal Documents To keep up with the organization's activities, the risk manager should read many internal forms regularly. Examples are: Agenda and minutes of meetings of the board or supervisory body Contracts and leases Union agreements, which may have safety or Workers ...
