The only problem is your sup talking you into not filing one and then a customer complaining you left a rut in their yard or something along those lines.
That's when you find a bus and then push supervisor under said bus.
Oh without a doubt. I'm just saying that's a scenario that I could see wanting to report an accident.
Yeah good point. I don't know, I'm just surprised. Normally people try to hide accidents. Not stand on a mountain top screaming they had one.
Now that makes more sense. Talk to a steward.
Right. The only reason they tell you not to file is because they don't want to look bad. I guess what had happened was an overweight came down on a belt without the overweight stickers and the person pulled a back muscle or something not knowing that the piece was overweight.
Test for weight and shifting contents.
Regardless of what happened they are required to find a reason why it was the employees fault.
about them looking bad and file, if they wont file, ask for a steward and they'll let you file. The reason to file is to protect yourself in the future. For example, how long can it take for whiplash to show itself after a car accident? Its nothing against the sups, we just need to protect ourselves just in case.
Injury. Sorry
Pshhhhh, please.
I've had sups tell Me before. Ugh why did you call this in? Now I have to report it.
Its in the safety rules, sorry but they are regarded as rules not guidelines. If the injury occurred while lifting that is what will be put down as the cause. Also after filing a report, the injured person will have to watch videos regarding the cause, receive full retraining on that aspect of the job, and then an audit will be performed on them, usually on their first day back on the job.
...I mean why would it get put on the audit if that wasn't how it was supposed to be done for the next 30 years while working at UPS??? Right?? Also they should share the constructive information given during the audit to everyone around them so that they know the correct way to work as well.
