Comments

  • He was not cycling too fast ,it happened because of grit and stones on the road ...Husband has just rung to say that the Union have said the company are negligent due to the condition of the road and its in HR hands now.. and if the guy makes anymore threats and approaches my husband again he is to inform him to take it up with the company and call security.
    Thanks for the comments and positive advice its much appreciated.

    That is most unusual. Most companies would automatically deny responsibility.

    When I started work 42 years ago, failure to clean spillage off the floor was used as an example to educate employees about new Health and Safety legislation that made employees jointly responsible in addition to the existing responsibility of employers.

    I read it as the union have updated the husband. My union reps are generally avaliable, or will get back to you when they can, weekends included.

    Yup and a rep stating their opinion and it actually being fact are a very different thing.
    The OP on the other hand is confident this is a done deal.....

    Liquid spillage on a factory floor is very different from loose grit on an access road
