general Have You Been Injured At Work Before?

I work in a mailroom and injuries aren't uncommon. I've ran over my toes with the post offices cages, and hit the back of my heel too. Cardboard cuts are also the worst. Never had anything serious luckily.

I sprained my ankle at work once and they were really jerks about it.

The worst on the job injury was when I was working as a cave guide. I was sweeping puddles off the cave pathways before opening for tours and I hit my head on a stalactite really hard. By this time I had already been working there for a long time and had warned guests to watch their noggins countless times in that same spot, so I felt just a little stupid falling to my knees with blood pouring out of my scalp before the work day even began. My hair was a real mess after that (adding insult to injury). But I got on my feet and continued with my work as usual. I was shamelessly looking for sympathy all that day but didn't really get much. Oh well. 

Sorry that happened but hitting your head on a stalactite make me laugh. :lie:

Fortunately, any injuries I've had at work have been very minor. Worst one I had was when I was cleaning some machinery and as I was trying to bend down and clean the lower parts, I accidentally bumped my knee into it. Hurt for a few minutes, but was all good after that.


At first I rejected the zero, but that was because I simply didn't understand it. Now I do.

Yes, january last year, I wanted to lift a pakage hich was heavier than I thought. I lifted it wrong (although I know how to lift them, but I had a migraine attack on that morning before and maybe, this was the reason why I did it wrong) and hurt terrible my back. I still suffer from this injury. 

Besides this, I had typical things like cuts and bruises. Oh and that one time when I worked in a company who build big party tents and I fall from a 1 meter high platform. It hurted, but it was luckily not heavy.
