The inspector of factories will visit the factory premises and investigate the matter and will order for appropriate action like fine, compensation to the deceased person and imprisonment, if it is gross negligence from the management side.

Dear Charu,

Our learned members are given their opinion is well. Still your query is hypothetical and assumption. I do not know whether you are asking for your knowledge or you want to know the procedures how to deal in such case.

Immediately after the accident you should report the accident report to the Inspector of Factores as per the applicable act. In case of fatal the jurisidiction police stations are also to be informed. The Inspector will conduct the enquiry into the accident and file a criminal case in the court of law in case of fatal. The cause of accidents if negligence on safety point of view, from the part of the Management including safety officer and unit incharge will be held responsible for the consequences and they have to face the enquiry. Besides this, in case of fatal or bodily injured whether permanent or temporary disablement matter to be reported to the Commissioner of Workmen Compensation ..and Compensation to be paid to the Victims or next kin of the victim in case of fatal, through the Commissioner, as per the schedule prescribed in the Workmen Compensation Act, 1923 as the case may be.

Ms. Charu93,

I don't know how did I come to this page. But when I saw your Profile and found that you are a Student, thought of sharing knowledge with you as below .....

Rule 115 under Factories Act, 1948:



Within 4 hours of the accident, the Manager of the factory has to send a notice of the happening of the accident and / or occurrence by telephone, special messenger or telegram to the Factory Inspector and the Administrative Medical Officer, Employees’ State Insurance Scheme (if ESI is applicable to the factory). Where the accident has cause death, or is likely to cause death, then such a notice needs to also be sent within 4 hours of the occurrence of the accident to :

• The District Magistrate or Sub-Divisional Magistrate

• The Officer-in-charge of the nearest police station

• The nearest relatives of the injured or deceased person.

There is no set format for the above notice. The notice may contain information of the happening of the accident and may mention, in case of death of persons in the factory due to the accident, how many such persons have died.

(Section 92 of the Factories Act gives the general penalty for contravention of the Act and Rules. The Section states that the occupier and manager of the factory shall each be guilty of an offence and punishable with imprisonment for up to two years or with fine up to Rupees 1 lakh or with both. Therefore, failure to send notice of the fatal accident in 4 hours and written report within 12 hours as mentioned above can lead to prosecution of the occupier and manager of the factory. Please note the ultimate control over the affairs of the factory will always be with the board of directors of the company and cannot be vested in any other person, without completely transferring the control over the factory to the other person.)

Liability under Employees Compensation Act, 2010:

The Act deals with compensation for workers who are injured in the course of duty. The scheme of the Act is not to compensate the worker in lieu of wages. The general principle is that a worker who suffers an injury in the course of his employment, which results in a disablement, should be entitled to compensation and in the case of a fatal injury his dependents should be compensated. Under the Employee’s Compensation Act, it is the employer who is responsible to pay compensation (as opposed to the employees State insurance. Establishments to which the Employees’ State Insurance Act applies, the liability to pay compensation is on the ESI Corporation).

The compensation to be paid by the employer for injuries caused depend on extent of the disablement suffered by the worker; more severe disablements naturally receive higher compensation. This has been categorised as follows:

a) Death;

b) Disablement

i. Permanent total disablement;

ii. Permanent partial Disablement

(c) Temporary disablement

Wages are the basis for amount of compensation paid. Two workers earning different salaries therefore will get different amounts of compensation even though the injury they suffered might be identical. Compensation under this Act is calculated on the basis of the monthly wage received by the worker. According to this Act it is the amount of wages which would be payable for a month’ service – i.e. irrespective of whether the worker is paid on a daily, weekly or piece rate basis.

Also,Employer shall have to send a written report to the Commissioner within 7 days of occurrence of any fatal accident failing which the employer may be held liable for fine.
