A personal injury should be report immediately

If you have been injured or are feeling ill at the workplace, it is important to tell your boss about it. Fill in a workplace incident complaint, no matter how small or insignificant the incident may seem. A minor ache now could turn into a lifetime of back pain. Furthermore, a slight cough could be the signs of a serious infection or sickness due to a pesticide or other chemical.
