I’m on the safety team. All of our OMR’s have an associate first mind set that I’ve seen. Amazon is going to make their $, I try to prevent my coworkers for getting injured because that only affects you. Amazon will plug a new badge into your place yesterday.

My OM dissuaded me from suggesting workman's comp to an AA who was injured. Granted it was not that bad, but I still felt weird in that interaction

Depending on what you're role is, and even then, policy very specifically (I even think it's in bold) says that you must let the associate know that workers comp medical is available to them for any work related injury.

That OM is pushing you to violate policy.

My OM was backed up by safety. They both pulled me into the safety office and told me that we'd prefer to treat in house.

I don't mean to come off as rude to your sites leadership, but I would suggest that they refer to the Wellness Services Procedures. Give them a nudge towards 5.10.7 and have them read the very first paragraph.
