Accident At Work - Who's In Charge,
You Or The Company?
An accident
at work is impossible to avoid! If it happens,
it happens. It's something you didn't plan and it's an
incident you have to live with. There's over 70% of the
population working on business premises, if not, it's
business transports. So be warned now as accidents never
sleep.
Workplace accidents
are not common as there is a huge impact from Health and
Safety. Checks are carried out periodically to ensure
a workplace is free from hazards, to prevent accidents.
If however,
they do occur, the cause of the accident is investigated
and future prevention is carried out. So there is always
a big helping hand from the Health and Safety Standards.
If an accident
at work does occur, it's embarrassing. Colleagues
can't believe it happened to you and become more precautious
with their role. They feel sorry for you for now, not
being able to competently complete your role. So they
give you a hand. Initially there's remorse all around...
it becomes an understanding culture.
After a while
it becomes a pain, especially for your colleagues who
keep putting a halt to their job to help you. Frustration
arises and in their heads they'll be thinking. 'Now he's
taking the ****!' But you're NOT. You
are the one that had the accident at work and
your body welcomes injuries in different ways to others.
After a while tension gathers in the atmosphere and by
now you're reported to the supervisor and disciplinary
action is just round the corner.
You feel let
down. In a workplace environment, business is business,
no matter who you are. You have your own targets and deadlines
to achieve. If they're not met, you will jeopardise your
position. This is the game for any business. Each worker
has a family to feed, so they need work to fulfil that
criteria.
Also a work
related accident can possibly jeopardise your position.
It could prevent you from carry out your 'full'
responsibility. Initially everybody understands, but after
a while they'll be thinking 'it was only a small fall'.
But only you know it wasn't just a small fall. It's not
only made an adjustment to your working life, it also
messed up your social and family life. You can't sleep,
shower properly, play sports or even have sex.
But only you see that side of the picture, your colleagues
don't. They only see you at work.
Back to your
working life... over time, the supervisor now reports
you to the person above and you're just waiting for your
name to be called to see the manager. Now it's going to
hit you. You're either, get laid off, get demoted, or
transferred to another department. This is where it hurts
the most. The managers can't do anything but take necessary
actions to ensure your position is 'fully' meeting its
targets.
But
he's your best friend... so, it's not his company
and even if your best friend doesn't take action against
you, someone above his ranking will take action against
him. So either way something will happen to your role.
Remember, if a business does not fulfil its role to provide
product and services to its' buyers or users, then the
definition of business is not fulfilled.
So now what...
are you thinking of an accident
at work claim? It's been 11 months since
your personal injury and now you're thinking
of you an injury
claim!? If you took action at the early stages of
your accident, by now you would have been in a better
position.
Nevertheless
it happens all the time. Workers 'think',
been with the company for so long, they won't do anything
outrageous. Well you can't predict the future and neither
can they. But what they can predict is your work performance,
past, present and future. They forecast the future of
their business and you should forecast your work future.
However you're
scared thinking who'll be the bread earner if you lose
your job. Let's worry about that in a minute, but first
let's put the cards on the table...
Making mistakes
is common practice as you know, nobody's prefect. Everybody
learns from mistakes and ensure they don't make the 'same'
mistake again.
Anyway, you
make a mistake at work, you get told off, make another,
you get told off again. Now if you keep making mistakes
over time, what the hell do think is going to happen.
Your supervisor is going to start looking over your record
and start taking disciplinary action against you. First
verbally, then in writing. Theses aren't the same' mistakes,
but they're made according to your supervisor. Think about
it this way, what happens if your supervisor makes a mistake,
what will he do? Remember you can only report to the supervisor,
there is no contact between you and his supervisors!
Back to
the making mistakes... what happens if the
company makes a mistake...?
Stuck aren't
you... you can't think of much besides making a complaint.
If an accident
at work occurs, it gets logged and depending on how serious
you look in the eyes of the company, you'll be 'kindly'
given days or weeks off. Being compensated for sick pay,
which you know isn't much!!! The injury affects your 'life',
not just your work and the company gives you a couple
of days to recover. Now that's a joke!
No matter what
action is taken against you need to make an accident
at work claim. Why? This is the only 'powerful'
solution you have over the company if they make a mistake.
Now you're
both sailing in the same boat.
