Even if the accident was your fault they still need to have it logged.

Tbh what you describe in workplace practice sounds rather like mine - we got the induction video and then we started work few days later and soon found things very different in practice. It's the way of the world (or workplace anyway!)
I wouldn't worry about them firing you, they need reliable workers like you, and they probably aren't bad employers as such just a bit sloppy.

Well, I notified the highest two managers in the facility I work in so I don't know what more I can do.
Basically the accident happened because of being too busy and having to work at too fast a pace. I mean I have only been there a month!
No one told me to be careful around the doors. If I was training someone I would definitely mention that. The doors are very heavy but slide easily. It is just something to watch for.
I have had a few days off and my finger feels better after plenty of soaks in epson salts. It still looks pretty bad. But it's healing.
As I noted in previous posts I am trying to come out of a pretty severe depression. I can really see where people find that they can't work because of the pressure. But I have to work. Pretty much everything is wrong with my life. I really need to go easier on myself.
Thank you for all your great comments and stories!
