[QUOTE="Integrity, post: 4755091, member: 26800"] All accidents and injuries that have already happened by definition are unavoidable because they were not avoided. There may be possible ways to possibly avoid a similar accident or injury in the future but that’s an entirely different discussion, nothing can be done to avoid something that has already taken place. The Company has tried in the past to get me, in my early days , and some of my fellow workers more recently, to engage in, what IMO was supposed to be “good faith” discussions about an accident or an injury while making out an injury or accident investigation report. I will not participate in an accident or injury investigation report without a Shop Steward. When asked the question if there was anything I think I could have done to avoid the accident or injury I always say no because if there was something I could have done to avoid the accident or injury I would have done it. They don’t like it but it has proven to work for me. I firmly believe the Union should do a better job with representation during accident/injury investigation reports. I am the only person I know of who insists on a Shop Steward to be present. While Steward, not one of my guys ever had me represent them during the investigation report. They did want my representation after they were being disciplined for the accident or injury. I told them all it was their right to have representation during the report, for some reason they choose to go it alone. [/QUOTE]
