k4mrc Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 any idea on a training manual for a 700 finisher? i have a x - employee claim for an accident (scratched fingers) and the insurance company solicitors are now asking if there is an existence of 'training manuals' for these machines.

petercoulson Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 never heard of one unless timpsons or minit ever produced one (minit unlikely as they didnt have many 700s) or there may be some info in the manual supplied with 700s, perhaps standards or someone has one to look at or upload? i will check if we have but i dont remember seeing one this is not the first case i have heard of of being sued after an accident, one other involved a completely stupid act on the part of the employee but they may stilll get compensation as it is cheaper than fighting it. wrong wrong wrong.

Lee Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 Am I right in thinking you have Whitfield 700? Mine was supplied with "operating instructions" NO training manual was ever issued with the machine. The "operating instructions" would at least show that the machine was running correctly at the time of the incident. I have copied the manual (1992) & added it to the downloads section. http://www.shoerepairer.info/index.php? ... w&iden=103 Lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Iain Posted October 2, 2008 Report Share Posted October 2, 2008 If he was fooling around when he scratched his fingers, isn't that cause for a defence due to contributory negligence? Just a thought. Iain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keithm Posted October 6, 2008 Report Share Posted October 6, 2008 I am not aware of any 'training' manuals, but we do have operating information. Give me a shout if you need anything to help you K4. As a matter of interest, when this 'ex employee' scratched his fingers, did you record it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k4mrc Posted October 7, 2008 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 As a matter of interest, when this 'ex employee' scratched his fingers, did you record it? yes keith, i put it in my accident book almost straight away, also followed up with a nurses report who called in a few days later (regular customer) and let the insurer know that he was working as a cleaner couple of days later from leaving - as helpful as i could be! thing is all this is time consuming! my insurer was impressed i am pleased to say, as he stated if 'procedures are not followed the insurer passes the buck to the employer' in fact with all the hassle i even considered 'selling up' - legal paperwork that we have to do can be is a very lonely corner to be in, and cause sleepless nights and worry that you wonder if you have followed all the legalalities properley. so please beware, even if you are a Ltd company - they will kick your ass if you get it wrong!

Hugh-Candoit (ENG) Posted October 7, 2008 Report Share Posted October 7, 2008 There are no training manuals for the use of finishers as machines, only for training on "Finishing as an operative use of the machine, these were produced by Multiples and the Colledges for Repairs and Manufacturing, also SRITA I do believe.
