[QUOTE="Vocab, post: 833697, member: 34861"] I cant agree with this enough. little story of my own from a few weeks ago I work in the unload, was going about my business when BOOM, took a box right to the balls. Needless to say it hurt pretty bad. I went about my buisness though and worked through the discomfort, it had begun to ease by the end of the night. One of my buddies urged me though to report it just in case something should be wrong, I kept telling him I was feeling better and it was nothing but finally I gave in and let my boss know. I didnt report it as an injury mind you, I just let him know what happened as more of a heads up That was a friday, come saturday morning I was so sore in my testicles and lower back I couldnt even get out of bed, this persisted the whole weekend, it was horrible. I let my sups know when work rolled back around and told them I was going to the Dr. Long story slightly shorter, the box to my boys had scrambled em up pretty bad and caused a lot of swelling, I needed a week off of work. as for reporting all injuries...im not sure how it is everywhere else, but at my ups we are urged to NOT report most injury's for the very same reason that others have stated. It's a very physical job and we're going to take some lumps, I myself have seen guys look like they were bleeding out, only to be bandaged back up and sent back to work no questions asked. In fact in my very first day of orientation they pretty much said "dont be a pusillanimous and report an ol injury, you're going to get hurt, deal with it" [/QUOTE]
