Violence at Work
Safety reps should encourage RMT members to report all violence at work incidents. It can be frustrating doing this, especially if members have done so in the past and nothing gets done. But the bottom line is - if its not reported, it didn’t happen.
It must be made as easy as possible for members to report verbal assault incidents so that the true scale of the problem can be assessed and dealt with appropriately. Lessons can’t be learnt, and importantly adequate actions will not be taken to address the issue. Also, if it is not reported it makes it more difficult to claim for insurance purposes should members need to claim subsequent to a violent attack.
