[QUOTE="tieguy, post: 53293"] Not the point danny. Just some personal observations. The injury issue at work is one that probably gets the most people fired up at work and usually good for a few ironies. Trying to get management to address injuries is like trying to get an army to fix world hunger. The mission does not match the group.

Safety and injuries probably require a little more along the line of compassion rather than management. The management job is usually so task driven we sometimes forget to have compassion. In the below example we should have shown concern. We probably should have insisted the employee had the knee looked at but we don't want the injury or we are too busy to step away and we therefore hope the guy will go home and heal up with no further complications.
