My brother in law has been treating dreadful after his chainsaw accident at his Gaffa's farm in January.
He is still going to physo at the QE once a week.
He as not recovered use of working hand,he has nerve damage ,can't make a fist and is waiting another operation.
My Brother in law is loyal to his employer,who he considers a friend.
He has worked there for 45 years only losing 10 days sick in all those years,he has baby sit his children.
Now this is how he treated him.
Ist week after accident put him furlough till the works insurance started to pick up his wages.Surely this is a breach of the furlough scheme.
He has only contacted him 3 times and that was to ask when he was comming back.
Last week he said if he couldn't do the job he should claim disabilty.
I don't think the accident has been reported to Riddor ( Health and Safety) surely somebody would have got in touch.
He has never had any training on safe use of chainsaw and the tractor he drives.
No PPE was ever offered and no risk accesment was ever made during the 30 years going down the farm, when the work was slack at the factory.
He is getting full pay from the insurance at the moment, but the GAffa has said he is changing his insurance company next month.
Iv'e told the brother in law forget about loyalty get some legal advice.
Next month he could be on Goverment sick pay, with no hope job wise.
What are is rights and what would you do
