What should you do if you experience symptoms from a lifting injury?

When experiencing symptoms from a lifting injury, the appropriate action to take is to notify your supervisor immediately and call PandaAID. This response is crucial because reporting the injury ensures that proper steps are taken to assess your condition and provide necessary medical assistance. Immediate reporting helps the company to address the incident appropriately, potentially preventing further injuries either to yourself or others.

Taking this route also aligns with safety protocols, as it emphasizes the importance of workplace safety and health. Notifying a supervisor allows for an investigation into the incident, enabling the company to improve safety practices and provide support to injured employees. Additionally, calling PandaAID provides access to medical professionals who can evaluate the injury and recommend the next steps for treatment.

In contrast, continuing to work despite the pain, ignoring the symptoms, or leaving work without notifying anyone can lead to further injury, complications, or misunderstandings regarding workplace safety policies. These actions do not prioritize safety or health and could potentially jeopardize your well-being. Thus, promptly reporting the injury is the best course of action.
