Are you fucked in the head or have never heard of workers rights or anything of the such? I'd like to know what the fuck you did for a a living if your employer never offered a safety course of any type, no on the spot training for safety, no harness. What should I have done then? Refused to do it? Then without a doubt i'd be one those people that are "wrong in the world today" because i refused to to my job. What would you have done? bought your own scaffold? Sorry I don't have 300$ to spend on that, or the money to refuse to work. I attempted to to the job to the best of my abiblities under my employers instruction and guidance and was hurt in the process. End of story, I am worried about this affecting my ability to WORK in the future, not wanting to fucking sue my employer, he asked me to do him an illegal favor. Figure it out. By the way, most people take 10 sick days per year in my province.
