Description
Occupational accident or work-related accident is an unexpected single event that leads to personal injury or illness, and which occurs while a person is at work or in connection with his or her work. The term "in connection with work" means a person is at work while engaged in an economic activity, performing the duties of his/her job, or during the time spent at work. Accident can result to more than one injury depending on the nature of the accident.
Examples of work-related accidents are falls, explosions, collisions, pieces of machinery or materials flying loose, gas leaking, and dropping objects. Include every accident that occurred during worktime if it was in connection with work, even if it occurred outside the person's usual hours of work.
All types of work-related accidents should be counted, including cases of acute poisoning i.e. those due to a single mistake. An example of this is a rescue worker who mistakenly drank water diluted with formalin while working. Include also cases arising from the willful acts of other persons like violent attacks. However, deliberate self-inflicted injuries are not included.
Accidents that happen outside the workplace while performing duties are also included. Examples are road traffic accidents in the course of work, accidents on board any means of transport used in the course of work, accidents that occur within the premises of some company other than the one which employs the victim.
Another example of work-related accident is the case of an enumerator of NSO who, while going or leaving the sample area was bitten by a dog, or accidentally slipped and got fractured legs.
Accidents which should not be included here are the following:
1. Private accidents that take place outside working hours, i.e., that do not occur in connection with work.
2. Commuting accidents. These are accidents that happen while a person is traveling to or from work, or to or from the place where they usually take their meals, or to or from the place where they usually receive their renumeration.
Work-related illnesses or disabilities are distinct from occupational injuries. These are illnesses or disabilities caused by work or risk factors associated with work over a period of time as opposed to occupation injuries which are due to a single unexpected event. They are due to some kind of exposure at work to harmful substance or environment, over a period of time. By exposure, it means coming into contact in some way, such as breathing in, touching, swallowing or injecting, or simply being present in a particular place. Harmful substance may be chemicals or chemical products, plants, minerals, dust, fibers, gases, smoke, bacteria, viruses, etc. Harmful environment include very hot or very cold work areas, radiation, etc. The work itself may involve certain movements which require excessive force or stress which are harmful to health.
Some examples of work-related illness and disabilities and their causes are described below:
1. Disease caused by chemical agents
Examples of these diseases are those caused by lead or its compounds. Potential occupational exposure includes lead manufacturing industries, wet and dry cell manufacturing plants, car battery repair shops, printing industry using monocast type-setting.
2. Infections or parasitic diseases contracted in occupation where there is a risk of contamination.
An example of a parasitic disease is anthrax. Potential occupational exposure includes abbatoirs, handling of animals like veterinarians and agricultural and wildlife workers, animal feed industries and health care workers.
3. Bronchopulmonary diseases caused by inhaling cotton dust
Potential occupational exposures are textile industries, especially activities such as blowing, carding and spinning, cotton ginning, and work with flax, hemp and sisal dust.
4. Occupation asthma
This illness is caused by agents or irritants inherent to work process or work environment such as chemicals, plastics, animals, plants.
5. Pneumoconioses
This illness is often caused by mineral dust. One type of this illness is asbetosis. Potential occupational exposure includes asbestos mining, asbestors cement work, disposal of asbestos waste, commercial car-brake shops using asbestos brake pads, insulation work in commercial boilers or ship boilers, demolition of building, etc.
Another type of this illness is silicosis. Potential occupational exposure includes stone masonry, abrasive blasting work using silica, as in the work process of removing old paint from boats, quarries and stone chipping, concrete breaking, etc.
