Title: H&S - What I did and what should I have done....... Post by: Mookiemoo on September 02, 2009, 23:52:46 Just interested into my approach compared to letter of the law.........
Up train this morning - I was half asleep on way to toilet in FC - noted because of wide ailse compared to SC. Went over a set of points I should have expected (we do it every bloody day) and ended up knocking bare foot against slidey door. Result - broken toe - I now - its been broken five times before - now six - was not sure at the time but confirmed with swelling etc development through the day FGW re not to blame - it was just one of those things with someone who has broken said toe so many times its fragile. Should I have alerted the staff to fill in numerous pages of paper and probably got slidey doors banned in the long term - or should I just do what I did and say - cest la vie Title: Re: H&S - What I did and what should I have done.......

Post by: John R on September 03, 2009, 17:12:13 Think you did the right thing. You wouldn't have got compensation as you were walking around the train without any footwear on. Though were you to watch daytime TV I'm sure you'd see some ambulance chasing adverts which might encourage you to claim.

That should be enough to make a case.

It's no win, no fee; and you get to keep 100% of your compensation." No wonder we have so much red tape and H&S in this country!
