OHS Case Study

Didn't have the best day today but I did some study regarding Occupational Health & Safety in Australia. As part of this I watched a case study in which an Australia Post employee told of his experience breaking his collar bone at work. He was bullied into returning to work early & re-broke his collar bone. His manager then refused to believe he had re-injured himself & forced him to complete his shift. I'm amazed that this sort of treatment could occur in the workplace, it certainly makes you question the validity of some schemes which return employees to work early on 'light duties'. Hopefully this is just a one-off case.
