Exam wrote omg, were you with someone when you were hurt, that must of been scary.

I saw my boss from where the accident happened and managed to get to him!

I dont understand why they had to pay you? did they not provide PPE? pretty lucky it wasnt too deep aye coulda been a lot nastier

I was paid compensation fees, it was their responsibility to provide me with Stihl Saw training, which I wasn't and I wasn't asked if I was trained. There was no first aid on site and there wasn't a suitable risk assessment for the job I was doing. There's also no P.P.E suitable to stop my neck getting sliced open, I mean I wore a dust mask and had my ear defenders on but what use was that lol

yeah I suppose I could of! Thanks dude

Yeah you definitely got very lucky with that "slight" injury. It definitely could have been a WHOLE lot worse

That looks like a brutal injury man. It's unfortunate that your employer took you to court but i'm glad to see you won. Congratulations.

typical of the company to hold back on the money youy deserve, they'll do anything to stop them paying out money. but congrats on finally winning it bro, hopefully it all healed up fine.
