[QUOTE="bubsdad, post: 518146, member: 21830"] One of our laid off feeder drivers was loading a trailer and the wall fell on him. His training supe wasn't in the trailer with him at the time. When she did come into the trailer he explained to her what had happened and she said he obviously wasn't using the proper methods. By the way, this guy is 58 years old, not in real good shape and has several health problems. He called me and asked what he should do about it because his back was hurting. I told him to report it, which he did. They told him to go ahead and go home and he would be paid for the whole sort. Next day his back was hurting more and he called and told safety that he needed to go to OCC. He was told by safety to tell the doctor he wanted to return to work with no restrictions and that safety would "take care" of him. I advised him to tell safety to put that in writing, which of course they were unwilling to do. At that point I advised him to let the doctor do his job and place whatever restrictions on him that may apply. The doctor placed him on restrictions and he returned to work. He was given a job that he could handle but was asked at least four times a day if he wanted to go home. [/QUOTE]
