OSH twunttery.
About 3 weeks ago after completing my weekly shopping I approached the smokes kiosk. I ran over some wires coming out of a switch cover that had previously been broken off.
As I usually have a couple of spare covers in my tool box in the car (and it's only 2 screws) I told the person who served me about it but said I would fix it. Sadly I didn't have any spare so I left it.
The following week I noticed it again and after apologizing for not fixing it the week before (I'm a customer here remember) I again pointed it out as a trip hazard.
It really doesn't worry me how this supermarket deals with this but having seen both sides of the "people slipping/tripping over in a Supermarket" situation (I had a mate who genuinely fucked his back falling over an end display & 1 of my sisters-in-law has more than once tried to do the "slip-fall & sue") I felt that I should tell the service attendant about it again.
This week I again noticed that the wires were still loose. This time I asked the checkout chick (the same one from the previous weeks) if there had been an "Incident/Near-Risk Report" lodged and who their OSH reps was & if they were available.
She pointed me to her Store Manager who is also their OSH rep (which is strange - normally managers like to off-load that responsibility to one of their lackeys - like me). I explained the situation to him. I even suggested that about AUD$3 would get me getting a cover plate from the local Bunnings (Hardware superstore) and screwing it on.
But no.
I got handed a ream of paperwork (bearing in mind I'm a customer NOT an employee) to fill out as a customer making a complaint.
Now this job has officially logged as an OSH issue.
Don't you hate OSH nazis?
EDIT: For the un-edumacated, OSH stands for Occupational Safety & Health. There is 1 of us everywhere.

Everywhere.

Times may be tight,
but petty vandalism is no way to drum up customers for your handyman business.

Yeah, I'd just ring the state office for OS&H and dobbery them in.
You might win a prize, too!

It was you!
Your'e the one who asked if it had been logged as an official incident and demanded to know who the OSH person was ... and now you're all upset because it has been logged as an official incident and the OSH person is involved. What the fuck did you expect would happen?

I like the way the last line makes this post read like a horror trailer.
