Polyester Gelcoat Poisoning

Please explain this: a worker allowed dried gelcoat to enter his toe fibres, especially how this was supposedly the worker's fault. Inparticular, how did "dried gelcoat" manage to do this? This scenario doesn't compute (as explained so far).

The worker spilled gelcoat on his toe while wearing sandals (against the Rules); it was then allowed to dry and subsequently entered his toe where the nail and the flesh meets.

It would be good advice, then, to review the operation by carrying out a formal Risk Assessment. If the outcome of that assessment requires the wearing of appropriate footwear for certain operations, then it is up to the employer to make provision for it and to enforce it, so as to prevent recurrence.

He needs to go to a doctor!!!! This is not a medical forum.

I think our OP (Sungun) is looking to us to provide a "get out". I for one would not be a party to it.

I side with the employee based on he was not reprimanded for incorrect PPE.

OK it's the duty of an employee to wear PPE where provided, was it provided? If not why not?
