AOD advice needed

Post by smokerjim »

Right, someone ( not naming names, etc ) had a dog bite today, and is currently on a stage one ( AOD that triggered it occurred May last year, interview last July, issued August :evil/mad :roll: no absences since ), seriously considering taking a day or two off....but might need to pull a 4 or 5 day flanker in August if leave does not coincide with a big event, where does this someone stand? Would they trigger a stage 2?

BTW, the dog has not to my knowledge attacked anyone else, but has always been highly aggressive, the owner is reported to have said that he has fitted a cage by the box inside the house, but the dog has attacked and damaged the cage as soon as letters get posted :shock: the OPG was attacked on the property preceeding that of the dog's owner, they have subsequently visited hospital, and recieved treatment & tetanus, they were wearing issue footwear, but due to hurriedly throwing jacket into the van during a h2h bag drop they were not wearing hi-vis at the time. Also, while they have reported the AOD over the phone to the PHG at the DO, LM not being in attendance at the time, they have not made an entry onto the accident book or CLEO ( doncha jus' love MLAs :left: ) Any other questions, let me know & I'll try to answer 'em.
I don't suppose your mouth bleeds every 28 days, does it?

A stage warning shouldn't be issued after AODs...

Certainly not issued after a dog bite anyway. Trauma, blah blah blah, I say take the days off ;-)

Aye one question what or who is CLEO and don't you mean ERICA.

Mea culpa, brother - I knew it was a women's name, just couldn't remember which one ( or for some reason I was thinking of Cleo Rocos at the time :whistle )
