What to do about work safety laws flouted?

[topsidesoul]

What does one do if  your workplace flouts allot of safety laws and Safework reps from the Government do not seem to care about it?

Heavy lifting (causing injuries)?

Rats in Lunchroom?

Broken electrical equipment?

Overflowing toilets?

No fridge in lunchroom?

No first aid kit?

Tried talking to the Boss and he just lies about things being organised.

Reps come to the workshop and barely walk through it, talk and laugh with the Boss and leave.

If you get injured because of these you then have to deal with workcover(or their contracted legal firms) and they do not care at all about the people they are suppose help back to work.

I found it dead and smelt it/disposed of it.

Stuck dead  near a heater vent where it was warm and I cleaned it up with a shovel.

Then used a chemaical cleaner to dry and get rid of the stain near the tiles and the odour.

There are rats in the lunchroom in parliament everyday. you can spot them by the red ties and red hair 🙂

become a HSR (Health & Safety Rep) and institute a Health & Safety Workgroup....contact your Union

[topsidesoul]

Unions were run out of the entire industry and everyone connected.

I guess I will have to wait some and make a anonymous report and hope they do something.

Horrible feeling when the people who employ you sit in luxury and don't seem to care about basic safety things like a fridge, pest control and risks of injury/ electrocution.
