Accident Book

Post by AnnexeB »

A colleague had an accident last week whilst working. Donig the job he was supposed to be doing he suffered an arm injury. He asked to put it in the accident book, before going to the Hospital, but was told there is no accident book, it has to be entered online ! Then the DSM told our lino it wasnt an accident at work anyway !!!! wtf !!!
I thought it was a legal requirement to have an accident book on the premises ?????

It's good to get these types of threads, the ridiculous my manager said bollox, so we can reassure ourselves that while the world is falling apart, Royal Mail managers are still being the low-life C***S they have always been.

The daily grind of having to argue your case with an intellectual pigmy of a line manager is physically and emotionally draining.

When was the last time RM accepted that an AOD had actually taken place?
The societies of consumption and squandering of material resources are incompatible with the idea of economic growth and a clean planet.

That would be funny if it wasn't true.

We had one DIM who insisted that one quite serious accident was in fact 'an incident' not an AOD, until the H&S Rep got involved.

When a customer rang up to complain about repeated mis-deliveries, and the same DIM asked the young lad on that walk why he kept making mistakes, the lad said
'I don't make mistakes, I create learning opportunities'. Priceless !!
