Re: Accident at work
Join a union mate! Seek some expert advice (Citizens Advice may be able to help) and see what your options are. Don't get stroppy with your boss but state your case calmly. You are the apprentice and do as you are told. As an apprentice, I would assume that you are not fully conversant with all the workings of your place of employment and therefore are under the supervision of your peers and more experienced colleagues. Your position seems to me to be this:- 1 You did as you were told by a superior. 2 You used a piece of equipment you were not familiar with and weren't trained on.
See if you can get hold of some company policies which deal with this kind of thing. If not, write to/phone a SENIOR manager at Ford, not just your boss and state your case. Be sure to say that you are sorry, that you were following orders and that you have learned from the experience.
Seriously, get some sound advice and good luck mate!
Regards
Rich
