[QUOTE="PT Stewie, post: 2546711, member: 12889"] It seems to be a management rule not an exception that an injury investigation starts immediately in an accusatory manner blaming the employee is some way for getting hurt. I have seen it many times I think it sage advice to call for a steward or roll out wiengarten. The one exception I know off is a personal one. I recently had a serious injury and was transported via ambulance to one of the scariest emergency wards around. My full time sup came to the hospital and stayed with me the entire time as they yes, stitched my bloody head wound in the hallway. That guy (sup)is an ace in my book one of the best! PS. The investigation started the next day by phone and later on the job by other management people but in all honesty I never felt threatened in any way or accused of negligence. I did not have much confidence in the workman's comp doctor though. [/QUOTE]
