Is it fair for an employer to say no light duty because I will need a hernia operation but then another employee pulls a muscle at work then finds light duty for them to prevent osha reportable. Happened quite a few times here.

We carry guns at work. Found out I had a double hernia. Was told I was a liability and couldn’t work the 3 weeks before operation. So had to use sick time and go on short term.
Manager told OHS no position.
Now a person pulls a muscle at work and can’t carry a gun. Now we have a position to avoid osha reportable. Double standard. Should be on worker’s compensation or I am owed money.
