Hi

You should inform the nearest police station about the accident

Inform the Factory Inspector

Make the accident report

Inform the ESIC & submit the accident report.

These are the primary steps you should take

what help u need from us, if ur HR u shld have read the specified rules which even i dont know some factory act etc, etc,

Hi Rajeev,

Actually Their are two diffrent situations for the accidents

Minor

Fatal/Major


In case of Minor acident u just need to fill form No. 16 of ESIC and forward it to ESIC dont forget to make a entry of the same instance in ur accident book format prescribed under ESIC & factory act rules. at the same time u need to inform the factories inspector.

on the other hand In case of Major/fatal accident the first & Immediate step is to inform the Nearest Police Station & Family of the Individual. Next fill the Form No 18 of ESIC and adopt the Same Procedure.

Hope This is Fine With U.

Thanks,

Workplace Accidents RESULT IN Injury to a Peron and/ or Property. Injury could be Fatal or Serious leading to Unfitness For Work for Over 48 Hours or Minor causing Unfitness for Less than 48 hours or no Unfitness.
In all serious Accidents cases the Immediate Supervisor of the Injured Person or the Section must report it to HOD & Top Management named for the Purpose, & simultaneously arrange for Medical Help, Blood Transfusion, Attendant etc, inform The Factory Inspectorate, Law & Order Authority and then arrange to gently break the news of accident to next of kin / family.
Second set of actions include Making Accident Report in the prescribed Format and filing the same with the nominated Authorities.
Then cause of the accident must be examined to prevent further possibility of similar event. The accident must be shared with Employees of the Section / Dept for Accident Prevention & Safety Promotion Drive

I think we have also to be filled up accident register of esic prescribed in form-23

When an accident takes place, the primary responsibility of the employer is to give him first aid. Then he shall be sent to medical dispensary or hospital depending upon the fatality of the accident. Normally, workers who are covered under the ESI will get treatment from the nearby ESI Hospital.

The next formality is to inform the Inspector of Factories and Boilers and the ESI local office of the accident. This is done by using proper forms. That is, Form 18 (Notice of Accidents and Dangerous Occurences)is to be sent to the Factories & Boilers and a similar form- Form 16- to be sent to the Local office of the ESI to which the company is attached.
The particulars of the accident should also be entered in separate registers kept as-
Accident Book- Form 15 - ESI and
Register of Accidents and Dangerous Occurences in form 26- Factories Act.
This facilitates cross checking.
