27. WorkSafe

If you are injured in the workplace or traveling to or from work, get medical attention, then go see the union or call them and find out about you worksafe. These days many employers want you to see their doctor. There is no obligation to see your employer's doctor and you should see your own. The employer pays a workcover levy and if you are unable to work, or incur out of pocket medical expenses, you have the right to claim YOUR work cover insurance. If you want to know more about workcover call your union Health and Safety Officer or the Welfare Officer and check out the union website at http://www.etuvic.com.au Video 27 of 30 from The Apprentices Project
