Trauma at work

To begin with, let's consider, what types of work-related injuries exist. Indeed, in fact, under the expression"Occupational trauma at work" is suspected of any mechanical damage to the tissues of the human body. It can be a trivial cut of a finger with a sharp object. In consequence of even such a minor injury, working capacity will be reduced.

So, according to their classification, injuries at work are divided into: cut, chopped, torn, bruised wounds. There are also more severe types: amputation, fractures of bones and dislocations of joints.

Of course, people who work in factories, factories, construction sites are more likely to receive various injuries at work ... But it happens that office workers are not insured from getting injured. What to do in case of injury at the workplace?

First you should give the injured person first medical aid and call an ambulance. Strangely enough, but without the conclusion of doctors, any trauma received at the factory is considered easy.

When the accident is fixed, A special commission of three people will start an investigation at the site of injury. Eyewitnesses will be interviewed, a place reviewedincidents and photos. Also, the victim will need to write an explanatory, which led to an accident in the workplace. After the investigation, the commission will determine all the circumstances under which trauma was received at work.

Unfortunately, none of us is immune from anyaccidents. Even on the way to work, you can get injured. And what to do in this case? After all, in fact, you actually were not at work. But on the other hand, you would not go to work, there would be no injury.

Trauma on the way to work in certain cases is also recognizedproduction. So, if an employee gets to work or goes home after the end of a day's work on the employer's transport, such a trauma is considered an industrial one. This includes traveling by own transport, but only if the employer has allowed the car to be used for official purposes (this provision is necessarily prescribed in the employment contract). Unfortunately, if you traveled by public transport or walked on foot, then the injury in this case will not be considered production.

It happens that an employee on the instructions of the employer should go with any assignment. Most often, such instructions are given at the endworking day so that you can then immediately go home without stopping at the office. And then on the way home and an accident occurs, as a result of which the employee received an injury. Unfortunately, such a statement of the question will not testify in favor of the employee. After all, this trauma is not recognized as industrial (only if the transport allocated by the employer has not been used).

Any trauma at work deprives a person for a certain period of ability to earn money. Payments for work injury are intended to compensatelost earnings. Also, payments will go to pay for medical services and rehabilitation. And do not forget about moral harm. After all, this factor should also be taken into account. In the event that a third person is guilty of getting a trauma at work, then this person must compensate for moral damage.

Important! Do not forget that in some cases there will be no pay for the work injury, because the victim himself can be accused of what happened. It can be any a trauma at work, obtained as a result of alcoholic or narcotic intoxication. A similar situation will be classified as an accident not related to production.

Often The employer tries to hush up the case of injury and persuades the victim not to complain in any instance. In words, they can promise to fully pay for the treatment in a good hospital. But, unfortunately, such promises are often empty. As a result, the victim will be discharged for health reasons. In order not to fall into such a situation, one should not go on about the employer. Conducting an investigation will give a chance to receive a corresponding payment and make the employer responsible for causing damage to health.
