Today, at work, I dropped a heavy block of lead on my hand. On my hunt for ice, I had to tell my manager - who told her manager, who told the chief - in the end, the whole department found out and they made me fill in two long-arsed incident reports. I had to fill them in myself with my busted up hand. FML

I like how it said hunt instead of search. As if ice were a wild being that must be trapped. oh boy, wouldn't the world suck if you needed to hunt ice. I can tell you right now, all of my drinks would be warm as fudge. XD wtf am I talking about?!?! O.o

The op's upset that they had to fill out the long arse paper work with thier busted hand. That sucks, usually someone else fills out the paperwork, like your manage, not the person who was injured. Well, in all of the jobs I've worked at, security or the manager fills out the paperwork.

I can tell you how he MAY HAVE dropped a heavy piece of lead on his hand as I myself have done it @work before which required an accident report being filled out...by me : ) blood dripping everywhere and all. I work in theatre and in theatre there are 45-50lb lead bricks which are stacked atop 1 another to counter balance scenery that flys in

and out. A brick slipped while I was trying to make a stack and half of my hand got smashed between the 2 50lb bricks.

seriously dude just ask somebody to write everything down for you and if nobody will then it isn't like you don't have 2 hands so just use your other ******* hand

Oh sure. why don't I write with my other hand ? Have you ever thought that maybe I wasn't ambidextrous?

The bad news: long reports. The good news: you could be compensated $e3-e5 (if Australia has an equivalent to America's OSHA). The very bad news: your company could lose $e6-e7 in legal fees.

ya hahahah I'm sorry hun but there people who commnt are all right

It's the rules mate. There is an act dedicated to this sort of thing, called RIDDOR (Reporting of Injuries, Deaths and Dangerous Occurences Regulations).
