Does this count as an accident?? Advice!

No.

 

No. Your MVR won't be dinged, but the company may, or may not, put it on a DAC report. Even so, it's not something that will keep you from employment at another company.

 

Ask your company what their policy is. Last thing you want to do is sweat bullets if changing companies.
I was in a similar position and never asked. When interviewed for my current gig i owned up to those mistakes a couple years back. Still got the job.

Found out later on because my gf is still at my former employer that they only put DOT recordables on psp reports.

 

You're company might count it as an accident depending on the dollar amount,but its probally just an incident.

As far as dac is concerned its not dot reportable so dont worry about it.

 

Oh yes indeedy. You bumped and broke something. tsk tsk tsk tsk. You had a ACCIDENT. Now you must lay awake having lost sleep in fear of firing.

Ive torn doors off in my time. Just a box of bolts and a little bit of tool time on it and back in business. If the employer heard nothing more or at all about it, the accident did not happen.

 

Just youre company history.
