Dear Pankaj, First, send the corpse to the nearest Government Hospital, and they will guide you regarding obtaining the Brought Dead Certificate. The body will be sent for postmortem. Send another person from your office to the nearest police station and inform them about the fatal accident. The police officers will assist you in sending the corpse for postmortem.
Additionally, send an intimation to the Labour Commissioner's office or CL Licensing authority regarding the fatal accident. Include all the details of the workmen (Name, Father's Name, Permanent Address, Present Address, Duration of employment, accident date, and time).
Notify the BOCW Commissioner/Inspector within 24 hours about the accident using the prescribed form from your state's BOCW Rules. The BOCW Inspector will visit the accident site for inspection. Until the inspector arrives, cease work at the location and barricade the accident area to preserve evidence. Ensure that the workers who were close to the victim are available to provide evidence to the BOCW Inspector and the police.
After calculating the compensation amount as per the EC Act, verify the amount with the Labour Commissioner's office authorities. Issue a cheque for the confirmed compensation amount and obtain an acknowledgment for the deposited Compensation Amount from the WC Commissioner.
Next, submit the fully completed Insurance Claim application form to the insurance company along with: (i) Muster roll for 3 months, (ii) Wages Sheet for 3 months, (iii) Compensation Acknowledgment receipt, (iv) Compensation Calculation & the Xerox copy of Draft, (v) Birth Certificate of the victim, (vi) Death certificate of the Victim, (vii) Employment Certificate from the employer, (viii) Address Proof, (ix) Family Details & Legal Heir details.
If you do not attach the acknowledgment receipt issued by the WC Commissioner, the compensation cheque will be issued in the name of the WC Commissioner of your district.
