[QUOTE="Integrity, post: 794715, member: 26800"] island1fox, Dicussing where improvements can be made and questioning a judgement call about a walk path is entirely different from having an[B] unavoidable injury[/B] classified as an avoidable injury for failure to stay on the designated walk path. Can you answer following question please: Avoidable or unavoidable? A 25 year driver hops over a 3 foot fence and twists his ankle upon contact with the ground.He has been hopping over this fence for 25 years and has never had any problems. He follows all safe work methods and there were no changes to the property or ground that could have caused his injury. The only thing he can come up with is that he is not as young as he once was and he simply turned his ankle. While the management person was conducting the injury investigation report it was noted that there was a sidewalk available at both residences and that, although it was long and would have added time to the stops, if he had walked the walkway he would not have turned his ankle the way he had. [B]The management person wants to classify this as avoidable.[/B] The driver said that while that was true, he was using [B]his[/B] designated walk path and he was also using all other safe work methods. [B]The driver wants this classified as unavoidable.[/B] You make the call, avoidable or unavoidable? Sincerely, [FONT=Times New Roman][SIZE=6]I[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
