Another Abused Injured Worker in Newfoundland

Shirley Ryan, who after seven operations to repair her damaged foot, had to have her leg amputated. Not a very good outcome for Ms. Ryan. What adds to her trauma is the fact WHSCC in Newfoundland are delaying providing her with a wheelchair ramp so she can leave her house to attend therapy sessions etc... This is the way WHSCC and all other workers compensation boards in Canada operate. When will Canadian workers wake up to the fact that what was promised to them by governments in Canada, Federal and Provincial, is not there for them when they need it most. This is another case of psychologically abusing an injured person for no reason other than to cause more distress in the injured workers life. When will WCB's in Canada realize it is more pofitable, not to mention humane, to help a person heal and return them to function? Instead the abuse lasts sometimes for years, even decades. Unfortunately some of us injured workers cannot take the pain and added abuse inflicted on them by these actions and suicide is the end result. Let us hope Ms. Ryan is not abused to that point.

Access-a-Ramp ~ James Dyson Award

The Access-a-Ramp is a device designed to improve train accessibility for reduced mobility users, including those in wheelchairs, the elderly, and people with prams or heavy luggage. The ramp, fitted in a number of doorways on each train, deploys automatically when requested allowing easy and unassisted access to the rail service for those previously at a disadvantage. The device comprises 8 hinged slats which can be deployed on either side of the carriage, by a rack and pinion electric drive system. Cables in the side walls control the angle of the slats as they emerge, with front edge sensors detecting when the platform has been reached. This ensures a capability to deal with variation in the vertical platform to train gap encountered in the UK rail infrastructure. (Music courtesy of incompetech.com
