You should always report any workplace injury, repetative body stress or unexpected pain to the employer as soon as it ocurrs. This allows the employer to be aware and take action to address safety issues or concerns and correct a problem by providing a timely solution. You protect yourself and your job satisfaction. You could even possibly save someone’s life, especially at Home Depot. Where there are lots of safety hazards from chemicals, machinary, moving equipement, etc. All states have workers compensation laws and these laws can differ by state. There are also federal safety standards and OSHA laws that employers are required to comply with. You should know your rights. You should also work safe and address safety and workplace concerns with your employer; if that fails to yield positive results then you may want to find a new job (especially if you are working in unsafe working condistions) or you may want tseek legal recourse.
