In our showroom at work the air conditioner condenser has an ongoing leak. This has created a small puddle of water behind one of the pieces of equipment in our showroom. I knew about this leak and one of the guys from the showroom placed some absorbent pads there to sop up the water but it did not get all of it. I was working back there today and slipped and fell onto my hands and knees. It startled me and my knees hurt for a few minutes but other than that I have no injuries. I made an incident report just in order to elevate awareness about the leaking HVAC unit. Now I have a meeting in the morning with a team leader who will be investigating this incident. I’m afraid they’re going to try to find a way to blame this on me and minimize or absolve the company of blame.
My thought is that someone did not properly install/service the HVAC unit ,this caused me to fall but it could have been worse and they should make sure they fix it properly this time.
What can I expect tomorrow in this meeting? What should my stance be in a situation like this?
Edit: US Company. and I’ve never had an experience with an injury (or potential injury) at work before, so I don’t know what the company is looking for.
