Rushed through the Health and Safety Induction. But they can't wait to get your signatures at the bottom of each legal document.
Grammar mistakes throughout the health and safety slideshow. I'm not the best speller, but I'd have thought these things would be proofread.
Feedback forms are given to you by the instructor straight after the induction. And you feel under pressure not to offend (as they are passed back to them, with your name on top). Make them anonymous, and to be dropped in a box. You'll get a much more accurate reflection.
Breathing Apparatus is given to some, but not all (not enough to go around). Due to the exposure of Silicon dust this poses a great health risk.
Covid 19 shielding is poor to non-existant around the entire facility.
Asked to use dangerous equipment almost immediately without adequate training.
Morning meetings conducted entirely in Polish, with no efforts made thereafter to translate into English.
30 minute break for lunch, but everything is a 10 minute walk away.
You feel like just another number from the minute you arrive.
One Polish worker assured me "there's no such thing as indispensible, if you want to leave, someone will be in the door as soon as you leave".
Despite making all of the above aware to the management, none of my issues were taken seriously, and nothing done to tackle them.
No direct number for HR or Payroll. Finding their email addresses was an uphill battle.
On the day of my induction I was asked to come in wearing a smart shirt, smart trousers and shoes. Yet was taken into the Quartz Work Area without the correct PPE. No earplugs, safety shoes or mask offered or checked to be wearing.
Was not asked to be clean shaven, in order to be put through a breathing test. When i was eventually put through it, no explanation was given throughout, to explain what the test was for, or what was being used.
