I was injured at work last week and had to go to the employer's clinic of choice and recieve 5 stitches. I was released to go back to work with a few minor restrictions. No problem.
Apx. 2 days later my whole accident is being relayed to the rest of the company via a computer screen in the main lunchroom.
Highlights of the video ( kinda in a cartoon setting with text much like some of the OHSA video's we used to see) were:
1. The machine I was running ( there were only 2 of us that run this machine within a 24hr period) So everybody pretty much knows who it is (ME!!!)
2. How many stitches I recieved and the location of them
3. The fact that I did not want to report the accident at first
4. How the accident happened
5. That I recieved a breathalyzer and urine test at the clinic (usual practice)
6. How I should of (insinuated) requested an 'authorized trash container'
instead of making one out of a box.
It had the usual what can we do to prevent this blah, blah, blah.
I told the manager who put it on the screen that I was offended by it and he basically could of cared less. I've worked at this company for over 15 years and I think I'm in good standing.
I'm a little hesitant to file a complaint due to my age (50+) but am curious to know is this legal to describe this accident and all the details for all to see?
We had a safety meeting the day after the accident and I had to tell what happened and all the particulars. That's how they knew what to put on the tv(computer) screen. Thanks
