• Description:
  Esta historia que le vamos a mostrar es la historia de un accidente que tuvo un trabajador forestal un día en el trabajo. El andaba serruchando en un área muy levantada. Al cortar un pino, le cayó un pedazo de rama seca en la cabeza y lo tumbó al suelo. Se sintió mareado pero se levantó rápidamente para no desmayarse. Le hablo a su compañero para decirle lo que había pasado porque le dolía mucho el cuello. El mayordomo no estaba cerca, pero cuando llegó le conto lo que había pasado y que no podía trabajar más pero no le hizo caso. El esperó todo el día y no recibió atención médica hasta el siguiente día. El patrón no autorizaba a la aseguranza para el tratamiento porque él quería pagar con la tarjeta de crédito para prevenir que la compañía de seguros se diera cuenta. Se tardaron ocho días para poder darle servicios médicos Los puntos claves que se ilustran en esta historia: Condiciones inseguras: No se dieron atención médica adecuada en el lugar de trabajo. Su empleador es responsable de asegurarse de que reciba los primeros auxilios y, si es necesario, que reciba tratamiento médico.: Los trabajadores tienen derecho a la compensación del trabajador y a recibir atención médica por lesiones y pagos si usted pierde salarios por más de 3 días o si se le hospitaliza durante la noche. Después de que ocurrió la lesión: El trabajador tuvo que esperar mucho tiempo antes de recibir atención médica adecuada; El mayordomo no quiso reportar la lesión para evitar que la compañía de seguros la descubriera.

He was cutting down trees in a very steep area and when he cut one pine tree, part of a dried branch fell on his head and knocked him to the ground. He felt dizzy but got up quickly to keep from fainting. He called over to a coworker to tell him what had happened, because his neck hurt a lot. The foreman wasn't nearby but when he got there, he told the foreman what had occurred and that he couldn't work any longer but the foreman ignored him. He waited the whole day and didn't get to the clinic until the next day. His boss wouldn't authorize the insurance to pay for his treatment because the boss wanted to pay with a credit card to keep the insurance company from finding out. It took eight days before the worker received the medical treatment he needed. Key points that are illustrated in this story: Unsafe conditions: Proper medical attention wasn't provided at the worksite. Your employer is responsible for ensuring that you get first aid and if necessary get taken for medical treatment. Workers have rights to worker compensation and to receive medical care for injuries and payments fi you lose wages for more than 3 day or if hospitalized overnight. Dealing with the injury afterwards: The worker had to wait a long time before receiving adequate medical attention. The foreman did not want to report the injury to keep the insurance company from finding out.
