The reason i have made up my mind is because of the attitude of the fact ive had the accident its as if they are trying to make out its my fault. After posting the last post on here i checked email to receive a message from the boss stating "on the day of the accident we have heard that you were not wearing ur glasses because the oil spill was rather extensive and visible for a wide area". my reply was "No, because i wont wear glasses to work i wear contact lenses instead because i find if i sweat wearing glasses they steam up and being a driver can be dangerous". And i also added "You have just made a very good point, if the oil spill was that extensive and visible surely those responsible for health and safety should have picked up on it while doing their rounds."

I know for a fact when loading and unloading is taking place the guy whos job it is for hazards as i said the one who is now threatening me should be on the loading area watching whats happening because theres people and forklifts and trollys going in all directions but he rarely peers out of his office.

i also have it on good authority and i will be getting evidence even though the accident happened at just before 7am in the morning, the oil wasnt actually sorted until the vans came back in after 6pm the following day, there were no warning signs or anything placed in the area either.
