So I injured myself at work today

Two_Six · #1 (**permalink**) Aug 16, 06

I can't beleive I injured myself at work, this stupid thing smashed onto my right hand it hurts so bad, but I can still kinda use my hand if I'm careful. I didn't report it, now my friend says I should of. Will it be too late to report it tomorrow?

Also ice isn't helping, is there anything I can do to make it hurt less?

You should stop masturbating at work, I don't think WCB covers injuries like that.

You can report it tomorrow, as long as you have credible witnesses. Or you can just pretend you did it tomorrow, but thats sketchy.

And for all you young kids out there... Report all ofyour work related injuries.

Umm, okay.

are you going to take time off work? it's prolly too late, still report it though

wcb looks for any reason not to pay up - not reporting an accident when it happens is one their reasons.

Meh, too much effort, lol I guess its not that bad I'll just complain that it hurts so I don't have to do much work. I told people what happened I just didn't report it.

I injured myself in construction once. Fell down into a 12 foot elevator shaft and banged my right knee on rebar that was sticking out.

I was hurt for one day, so I didn't bother reporting my injury to the WCB.

Two months later it hit me - my cartilage got ripped, damaged, and scarred and now my right knee is PERMAFUCKED.

So take my example and don't do the stupid thing like ignoring an injury that goes away after one day... REPORT ALL WORK INCIDENTS AND INJURIES.

1 question where is it you work????

mojo · #9 (**permalink**) Aug 16, 06

report it.

and for the pain, tylenol, or something stronger from the doctor. shit, are you a child?

ps: Avana, i would expect better from you then a weak-ass tugtug joke.

Yeah I'll report it since everyone I told this to is telling me to report it. It is hurting alot less though, which is a good thing :) Like now I can type with it and it doesn't hurt like a few hours ago.

PS I work at a warehouse where they make cement products ie tin-sets, grout. The machine that injured me is called a "per fill", a machine that fills the product into individual bags. I put my hand where the bag is suppossed to get strapped on when I was taking the bag of. I should of grabbed the bag from the bottom not top (lesson learned the hard way).

If you told people about your injury at work and they can vouche for you then id report it tomorrow for sure. You never know what kind of damage you did to your hand and how it could affect you in the long run right.

Two_Six · #12 (**permalink**) Aug 16, 06

^ True, yeah I'm gonna report it.

galaxie · #13 (**permalink**) Aug 16, 06

ALWAYS REPORT INJURIES THAT HAPPEN AT WORK!!!

Seriously.
Even the smallest scrape can get infected and cause huge problems, and if you don't report/record it, you're screwed.

mapleleaf4ever · #14 (**permalink**) Aug 16, 06

^ Forreal.

At my Job they tell us to report even the tiniest injury as soon as it happens. Like galaxie said, it may be small now, but if it does turn into something bigger and you didn't report it. WSIB (Well for you guys WCB) won't cover it.

Best to cover your ass and file with your Manager.

They don't purposely try to 'screw you'.

People try and screw them over every single day so they are just really sceptical about who they fork over the money too.

and has for the injury, report it...i have a freind that fell at work and she didnt report it because she was too embarrassed. She still has back problems from it and it happened 5 years ago. The Doctor said she will always be bothered by it.
