I am so sorry.
And how about that thing with the accident report??? Same old business, eh. I hope you will pursue this...especially because it is the second time this has happened.
Get the accident, logged, most definitely.
And bring up anything else that seems dangerous. I brought up that one of our machines didn't have a safety guard. Everyone says it works fine without it but someone came out and took a look at it. I think now everyone has me pegged as overly conscious about safety. Well, they spent half a day training me to be safety conscious with all their corporate videos...so it isn't my fault.
Hugs to you, friend. Hugs.  |
Thanks, yes it's the same hand.
Yes, it's funny how a lot of what they teach on safety training goes right out of the window in practice. I reported a cracked piece of plastic climbing equipment, supervisor asked if we could not still use it as "You are only light", and then proceeded to bounce up and down on it to prove it was safe - yes, safe until the moment it gives way completely that is. They were balking at £25 replacement cost, lost work hours and possible compensation from an accident would be more costly than that to the company.
