Apologies I thought that you meant you wouldn't find them in a supermarket at that part of the shop floor didn't realise you meant physically on the floor.

You originally stated "It didn't fall on her, she knocked it over."

Which she didn't

Well it didn't just fall of it's own accord while she was trotting past did it :rolleyes:

I'm fairly sure that the op is not blind - so unless they have a sub average IQ they must understand that if two things are touching each other if you move one then there is a good chance the other will move. I'm also guessing that she may understand that big heavy things hurt when they fall on you, if not before then she does now...

So are you suggesting that she moved this object to deliberately cause a mirror to fall and injure her?

I doubt it but she did not knock it over.

Oh, I think OP's post #19 makes it quite clear that we was fully aware the mirror was not fixed to anything,

Work had been done in the store overnight. A large mirror, approx 7' x 3' had been left propped against the edge of shelf. When I moved an item on the shelf, this dislodged the mirror and made it fall. I automatically put out my arm in defence and the mirror hit my forearm and wrist. I was wearing a bracelet and when the mirror fell, it caught against the bracelet pulling my arm. As well as bad bruising, the reflex action caused me to pull the muscles in my arm and shoulder.

I have no idea what everyone wears - why do you ask?

It's probably a thinly veiled insult. The poster concerned is unable to debate in a mature way.

Fair point, although she could have thought it could have been propped in such a way as not to move. Maybe - maybe not.

Maybe the poster has moved on and has decided to discuss matters of a sartorial nature?:rotfl:

Wouldnt fall under RIDDOR, EHO have no charge over H&S in this case.

This incident would be RIDDOR reportable...

If you are in control of premises,

If you are in control of premises, you must report any work-related deaths and injuries to members of the public and self-employed people on your premises, and near miss incidents that occur on your premises.

No, I'm saying she's lazy and or stupid - neither of which are the shops fault.

You must be red faced and feel a tit now then after putting words in the OP's mouth.

Nah not really, I couldn't give a toss to be honest
