now apparently the fault of ourselves
fell down stairs ,slippery footwear due to teeming rain ,wooden and lino flooring on stairs,distraction from noise causing one to lose concentration on descent,slipped and fell down whole flight of stair ,was holding hand rail couldnt stop myself.
MY FAULT not paying due course and attention ffs it was a fall
on interview mgmt now asking if you had min of 20 min break btw i did have
beware guys they are going to blame fatigue with accidents on lack of break on yourself
and what does area rep and h&s say
silence is deafening

Re: accidents
My advice
Photograph the flooring,the handrail everything from the stairs to the soles of your shoes.
Measure the width of the steps to see if they comply to building code etc.
Also what footwear had you on,then double check with manufacturer to see if they are slip rated,dimensions etc.
As u know the procedure isn't meant to be blameworthy but certain management are trying to use accidents to conduct staff.
Good luck

Re: accidents
You had an fall while completing your duty although you have not mentioned in your post if you have sustained an injury but having fallen down the whole flight of stairs you will probably feel the effects in the next few days.hans solo wrote:now apparently the fault of ourselves

Demand that this accident be recorded in the accident book as this can not be refused.
It is then up to management to investigate a risk assessment of the property on how to proceed with this matter.
It would be beneficial to you if you can take photographs of the stairs as already mentioned to support your right to have this recorded.

Re: accidents
You can appeal a blameworthy. You need to get your H&S rep on the case. There is a time limit.
Rows of houses all bearing down on me........I can feel their blue hands touching me.......All these things in all positions.........All these things will one day take control..........

Re: accidents
Make sure they write down that you're blameworthy....
Then ask if they think you are self harming
Eeeejits
I hope you've a grievance going in
