Good Morning to all Cite HR members,
Employees are our assets, but if some mishaps occur, what are the necessary steps to take by a Human Resource in case of an accident or death of an employee on duty?
Please suggest that what is the process to inform in ESIC and Employee Compensation.

If covered by ESI, you should prepare form 12 (online) and submit the same. You should also call the Officer concerned and narrate the incident in detail. If a Factory, you should send a similar report, Report of Accidents and Dangerous Occurrences, to the Inspector of Factories and Boilers. You should also inform the District Magistrate/ Sub Divisional Magistrate, the Police and the Labour Officer. If the employee was not covered by ESI, then instead of sending form 12, the employer can send a report of accident in Form EE (state rules will prevail) to the Workman Compensation Commissioner of the district within 7 days of the accident.
