Dear Seniors, there was an accident that occurred at our construction site yesterday, and one of our contractor's employees died. In this scenario, what is the responsibility of the principal employer, and is there any information that needs to be provided to the labor department? Please suggest... waiting for your replies.
Thank you.

Certainly, yes. Since the matter involves the payment of compensation as per the Employees' Compensation Act, either by the contractor or by the principal employer, informing the Labor Department is a prerequisite in such cases. Usually, before removing the corpus from the accident site, the presence of a labor officer is required.
