Visitor Accident During Factory Tour: Is Your Company Liable for Compensation?

menka
Dear all,

My company is covered under the provisions of ESIC. However, suppose a visitor comes to my company and during the factory tour, he unfortunately meets with an accident and dies. In such a situation, what can a company do? Is the company legally liable for any compensation, or can the company claim any benefits under the ESIC?

Reasons for accidents and the individual who started working at the company should be addressed. Concerning the visit, it is essential to ascertain which company he is affiliated with. Anyone can assist you.

Hi Ashok,

How are you?

Ashok, there is an act called the Public Liability Act - under this act, the employer has to take an insurance policy for the outsider who comes to visit the plant or work site. This insurance also covers property.

You can find the act on Google and go through it to enhance your knowledge.
