Let's be real; nobody puts a band-aid on a bruise, and even a band-aid for a papercut isn't going to kick off a paperwork process in normal circumstances, even in Germany. The letter of German law may not put any lower bound on injury reporting, but that doesn't mean there isn't one in practice.
- HerrBertling 3y agoThere is a lower bound, see my comment. Three days out or more (or death, that is…) needs to be reported, anything below does not.
- wkat4242 3y agoExactly, having such formalities actually prevents people from reporting minor incidents because of all the wasted time with H&S teams. I made the mistake going to the 1st aid guy at work once when I had a tiny cut, just didn't want to leave blood so I went to ask for a band aid. I'll never make that mistake again because I had to fill out forms, show what happened, discuss improvement plans with my manager etc. Fuck that.
