Hi Heidi,
I too was gob smacked when I read what you were required to do, driving a staff member to hospital. I agree with all the others have stated and your MD needs undertake a quick lesson on OH&S (and his/her responsibilities).
On another matter, being new to this great web site, I am learning so much about these discussion sites (how they work etc) - I notice that some members provide information about themselves including where they work (names of organisaitons), which you have supplied on your profile. I am thinking from the perspective of what would happen if someone from your organisation - the MD (or a competitor to your organisation) read your question and clicked on your profile - they would know who you are talking about!
I believe this is a great way to discuss workplace issues - but discussions / concerns etc aren't private - and anyone can read what you have posted. I would hate to think you may get called into the MD's office with a please explain (you have exposed the MD's lack of knowledge in OH&S and you don't want to give the MD any reason to hall you over the coals).
Might be ideal to remove the name of your organisation from your profile
