Workplace accidents

A workplace accident is an accident that occurs during the execution of your work and results in physical injury. An accident on the way to or from work (commuting) can also be considered a workplace accident.

What should you do in case of a workplace accident?


  1. Notify your supervisor immediately
    – Even for seemingly minor injuries
    – If you can’t call yourself, ask a colleague to help
  2. Visit a doctor
    – Get a medical check-up as soon as possible
    – Ask for a certificate clearly stating “workplace accident”
  3. Send all documents to HR
    – The medical certificate stating “workplace accident”
    – The workplace accident report form (your supervisor helps you with this)
    – Submit everything to HR within 48 hours
  • What does Group-f do?

    – HR files the report with the workplace accident insurance
    – You receive confirmation from the insurer and further instructions
    – In case of serious injuries (fractures, burns, long-term disability), the labour inspection is also notified

  • What about your salary and expenses?

    During your absence due to a recognised workplace accident, you receive compensation through insurance. This covers:

    – part of your lost wages
    – medical expenses (including medication, hospital, physiotherapy, …)
    – possible travel costs for medical check-ups

Note

Late reporting may result in denial of insurance coverage.
Make sure to send all documents on time and correctly to HR.
