medical link with the environment or equipment you used at work and your
complaint
An injury suffered at work is classified as an industrial injury. The parlance
of an industrial injury covers everything from minor accidents (falls and
spills) to big industrial disasters (leakages of intoxicants, fires, radiation,
accidents while using any machinery). Irrespective of the injury or the
magnitude of the injury suffered, it is the industry's responsibility to respond
to their employees and see that they get proper care and treatment on time. The
employers also have the responsibility to provide minimum health and safety
standards for accident prevention along with the respective safety devices
applicable by law to that particular industry.
The most common causes that result in industrial injury are heavy loads, misuse
or break down of vehicles, tools or machinery, inadequate precautions of safety
training and clothing, long hair or clothes that may be tangled in machinery.
Hazards in an industrial work environment include explosives, fire, inflammable
gases, electricity, heat, high work platforms, high pressure or hot gases and
liquids, sharp edges on moving machinery, toxic gases, UV or nuclear radiation,
toxic raw or finished material, hazardous catalysts, under water work, work
under weak and heavy structures.
The most common and usual parts of a human body involved in industrial injuries
are spine, head, lungs, hands, eyes, bones and skin.
Safety at work is as much an employee's responsibility as much as the
employer's. Being and feeling safe at work is am employee's prerogative and he
should take steps to make sure he is safe. An employer must make sure that he
provides secure surroundings and infrastructure along with proper manpower to
enable an employee carry out his work in a safe and secure way. An employer must
also make sure that he provides proper tools, material and equipment, free of
any safety hazards and also make sure that the employees are properly trained to
use them. If an accident occurs and an injury results due to a defective
machinery supplied by another company, it is still the employer's responsibility
and duty to make sure that the machinery and equipment id properly tested and
maintained as they should be.
In normal and optimal economic growth situation, an employer must make sure that
the works or the factory should be insured along with the employee's work
insurance. If this is adhered to, a lot of pain can be avoided by coverage for
all compensation claims and will nullify any cases of victimization. In cases of
injury causing permanent disability which may result in termination of
employment, substantial claims and compensations are known to have been awarded.
The most advisable thing to do under the situation is to comply with all
government regulations as necessary for the industry. An employee may also get
into an agreement with the employer to resolve any future conflicts arising out
of industrial accidents or injuries, so that any kind of legal hassles or class
action is avoided and the claim or compensation as per agreement can be handled
under friendly and positive atmosphere
