We have a lady at CCCF that slipped and fell in the kitchen on March 15th at 2:45 pm. She hit her mouth on a bucket and it gave her a bloody lip and a bruise on her chin. She got turned down by medical three times. They never documented it or treated her.
Another lady that works in the kitchen had a tooth pulled. It wasn’t just pulled though. It was flush with her gums so the dentist had to dig for it and then suture it back up. They never gave her any days off to heal and she was in a lot of pain and still trying to work.
Every night when leaving the kitchen, the coordinators spend a lot of time searching all the ladies before they can leave, but when a new lady comes in to work they don’t take any time to make sure she has the right shoes that don’t slip, ask if they have any major medical conditions, or even make sure she has the right tools to do her job. There is no workman’s comp here and safety is just not a concern for the kitchen coordinators and often the medical staff as well.
