moxy 617 Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Prove that the machine was defective Otherwise is your word against theirs. And I bet they don't want a HSE investigation Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BGD 6,385 Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 (edited) Good stuff just make sure you don't say a fecking word without your rep in the room. Can't really offer any advice on how it'll go without more details and you're probably best keeping things offline for now so I won't pry but atb for tomorrow Edit - just seen your replies above, if you've got pics and witnesses then don't sweat it, you'll be fine. Still keep your mouth shut until your rep is there though Edited December 13, 2015 by BGD 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bob.243 7,619 Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 Looks like your arse is covered, the union should sort this out, all the best. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDHUNTING 1,817 Posted December 13, 2015 Report Share Posted December 13, 2015 When you said accident did you hurt yourself? If so did you take time off? Was it longer than a week? If so they should report to ridor. Have you been trained to use the machine? tbh if your really worried I would be seeing an expert not asking on here, but its your employers responsibility to take all reasonable measures to ensure safety even if you were at fault so itll be them thats more worried than you. if you want I can send you a number of a guy that may give you some advice but a.please dont tell him who gave you his number(not that you know) and b. Prepare yourself for the most boring conversation you will ever have. Again dont hint at who passed the number on I dont f***ing want him ringing me im still getting over the training course he gave me. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Mister Gain 1,759 Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Employers have a Duty of Care: Under the Management of Health and Safety at Work Regulations 1992, employers are obliged to assess the nature and scale of risks to health and safety in a workplace and base their control measures on it. Your union rep. should be aware of this, and if faulty equipment was the cause of an accident, with or without injury, then they are to blame. Hope it turns out OK.

Lab 10,979 Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 Did you know it was the wrong screws before you used it?? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
JDHUNTING 1,817 Posted December 14, 2015 Report Share Posted December 14, 2015 If he did I doubt hes going to want to advertise that fact for all the world to see Quote Link to post Share on other sites
