I regularly cut myself in work ,and just put some tape on it or a plaster myself
After watching the Doctor programme ,its definately getting reported and put in the accident book.If there,s no trained first aider on the premises, then i,m off or treatment This Sepsis is an eyeopener
I have not showered since I was about 12, and never clean any cuts or grazes. I have cut myself whilst covered in chain oil, fivth wheel grease, mud, crap, and canal water. I have not died.
■■■■, just the amount of times I’ve fallen into the cut should have killed me by now…
With H&S as it is report everything!
If you cut yourself and it gets infected you may lose an arm. Employer should have protected you therefore you have a claim.
If you die your family have a claim.
Not saying I agree with it but that’s the way the game is. Play it so you don’t lose!
as Munchkin says you have to play “the game” now, the days o lecky tape on cuts not any more,we even had guys complain o broken laces hehe.to much to lose if you don’t do it the company way.
I was doing agency subbing for a major supermarket at Christmas and had an accident, when I reported it they said “whats the reg” I said “no I had the accident” oh ok - scribbled my details on a slip of paper and I have heard nothing since, ■■■■ me the pain I have been in, but hey lucky it wasn’t a scratch on one of their ■■■■■■ units…

Wipe it on your jeans, and you’ll be fine.
I was brought up on cut water
Ive even tasted perch and pike from the cut, caught right next to the rusting bike and shopping trolly
I always say I will fill an accident form in when I damage myself at work but just never get around to doing it (do bunions count as these steelies are killing me
