Today at work, I was told that we no longer have to report all injuries.

[QUOTE="soberups, post: 748584, member: 14668"] I'm not being sarcastic, this is an honest question. "What is the definition of an injury?" I have yet to hear a consistent or coherent answer to that question. I'm being serious. After 23 years on this job averaging 500+ pieces per day picked up and delivered, I get aches and pains and twinges on a more or less [I]constant[/I] basis. Some days my back will start feeling a little sore by midday....other days it wont. If I reported an "injury" every time I [I]felt pain [/I]of any sort, I would be calling in reports every damn day. I try to let common sense be my guide. I try to listen to my body and work thru most aches and pains, while at the same time being proactive enough to report and deal with minor injuries [I]before[/I] they become more serious. Like it or not, its a subjective thing and on a certain level the company is just going to have to trust the integrity of its people. I must be doing something right, since in my 23 years I have never once been on Workmans Comp. [/QUOTE]
