What a week.

Every peice of industrial machinery my company makes me use has broken down now. I'm physically shifting heavy loads when I used to have powered belts to move it for me. Broken in april, employer wont fix it and has resulted in my back having problems. Washing machine that cleans crockery (8000 plus customers a day - hard to hand wash) has died completely this week. A pipe appeared to burst after I cleaned the thing, it had been suffering many faults but this one was a health and safety issue. Cue my supervisor telling me to use it and put people at risk, argument ensues and I refuse.

I think I have good cause to refuse too, given that the last time something burst like that the machine caught fire.:wacko: Even then this stupid woman wanted me to use it and insisted I'd made the whole thing up.

So today, infact all week, I have had to push heavy trolleys of dirty crockery from one end of the building to the other (about 300 feet distance on foot). Customers from the restaurant keep jumping in my way, stopping me to ask if they could have a plate, spoon or fork. Are these people blind? Its covered in food. Perhaps they're on some new dietary regime to lose weight by ingesting masses of bowel stirring bacterium. Good luck to them.
So anyway.. today, after having scubbed a machine that I dont even usually operate, having been b*ll*cked by another depts supervisor for "getting in the way", having then been b*ll*cked by same stupid supervisor I mentioned earlier for "not getting in the way" and forcing my stuff through their machine, despite having ferried 30+ trolleys worth of crappola for them, I get called a skiver. Charmed.

Leads me to think some people need to be labotamised. Or they could smell the s*** I have to scrape into a bucket because the waste disposal has also been condemed. :wacko:
 
Illegal firearms, go "postal". It's the only thing they'll understand.

Let the machine catch fire, then as the big red lorries turn up with their flashing lights you can say 'told you so'.....

Put it in writing to the chief H&S type with copies to the head honcho of your organisation and the relevant line manager(s) and if you have one your union rep. Make sure the bottom of the letter has Copies to:- and the list of all other recipients.

Be polite and voice your concerns in relation to H&S issues only, no mention and definitely no criticism of any involved personalities. Merely express worry at the risks involved. Do not ask for any specific remedies. Save those for any related enquiries from the parties addressed.

It's not your job to manage the situation merely to do as bidden and point out any dangers, so if anyone asks you for a solution preface any reply with, 'Well it's not up to me but the situation, as is, is surely courting disaster.'

Then you give a tentative suggestion that someone should repair this or that, or change the work procedure so that the dangerous action is no longer required of you. Maintain your cool and be humble. If/when pressed further be decisive and say what should/must be done to avoid disaster, show in your reply you are concious of the costs involved in repair.replacement and the likely costs of an accident due to the fault/faulty procedures now in place.

Good Luck.

I have witnesses that I reported it all, even the top Boss has backed me up on the washing machine, its the Supervisor thats the stupid one

Once I'd explained to my colleagues about it they were fine, a little put out but they get on with the job.

The other solution is - Just leave. That would show the supervisor :rolleyes:
