Some facts: • New workers have four times the risk of injury during their first month in a job. • One in every 15 workers is injured during work in Canada. • Newcomers do not find the work they hope to find right away – they are more likely to work in manual jobs, which have higher rates of injury.
What should you do if you get injured as a result of work? • Report to supervisor • Get medical help if necessary • Write a detailed incident report • If you miss time from work or see a healthcare provider because of a work-related injury, report the injury to the WCB by phone, fax or mail.
How to write an Incident report? “If it wasn’t documented, it didn’t happen.”
Example 1: Scenario • Gonzales Castillo is a delivery person in Winnipeg, Manitoba. He was unloading TV sets by himself from the WTV Company’s delivery truck Monday, June 3 at 2:00pm. • Suddenly, one of the 40kg boxes started to fall off the truck. Gonzales turned to quickly catch the the box and twisted his lower back.
Example 1: Employer’s incident report • Please describe the incident in as much detail as possible. (Use separate sheet if necessary. If applicable, identify any witnesses.)
Example 1: Employer’s incident report • I was unloading TV sets from the WTV Company’s delivery truck Monday, June 3 at 2:00pm. Suddenly, one of the 40kg boxes started to fall off the truck. I turned to quickly catch the the box and twisted my back. • Because of serious back pain I had to go to Misericordia Urgent Care on Sherbrook Street the following morning.
Example 1: Some useful expressions • I was unloading TV sets from the WTV Company’s delivery truck Monday, June 3 at 2:00pm. Suddenly, one of the 40kg boxes started to fall off the truck. I turned to quickly catch the the box and twisted my back. Use the past progressive (was ….ing) when you were in the middle of an action that was interrupted by another. When, then, after this, suddenly are good linking words.
There is Greg, a worker for Winnipeg Delivery Company WDC. There is a crate that Greg should repair. And there is a malfunctioning staple gun. Example 2: Scenario
