Manager’s perspective on workers comp.

I'm heavily involved in health and safety and my branch manager asked me to sit in for the Manager and Supervisor safety seminar (Zoom), discussing health and safety requirements. We get to the part about filling out an incident investigation, to be used for workers comp. purposes. The guy giving the seminar notes that: “Employees aren't allowed to fill out the investigation form.” Sure fine, makes sense. Then a manager jumps on and says: “Well, if we let the employees fill it out, they might nullify it or incriminate themselves.” Wait what? This manager is hoping an employee will incorrectly fill out the form and get denied worker's comp. I'm out, left the meeting, fuck this. A new low, these manager mindsets are disgusting.
