An accident is an unplanned & uncontrolled event which causes or is likely to

cause an injury.
It is some thing which un-expected , un-predictable or intended or not desired.
An accidents may cause a result of some unsafe activity, act, working condition
etc.
WHAT IS AN INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT ???
It can be define as An accident or occupational accident is an event of accident
that suddenly occurs when one or no. of employees / workers placed in plant.
For instance, In an organization a person / labor while working receiving an
electric current, a labor cut his finger from machine, blast in chemical industry
because of various reasons, fired in textile section etc..
These are all the example of industrial accidents.
TYPES OF ACCIDENTS
It can be classified as,
1- ACCORDING TO LENGTH OF RECOVERY
iii-

iii-

FIRST AID ACCIDENTS- Here these worker receives first aid at plant hospital
and then return to the job.
LOST TIME ACCIDENTS- Here worker loses a day or shift in which accidents
occur.
Compensation is given to the employee by employer for the severity of
accident.
HOME- CASE ACCIDENTS- worker loses reminder of shifts or turn on which
the accidents has occurred

2- ACCORDING TO THE NATURE OF INJURY

i-

ii-

iii-

FATAL ACCDIENTS- it includes the accidents that could result in the death of
the injured worker. The death could occur on the spot due to the unbearable
injuries.
TEPORARY DISABLEMENT- accident that reduces the earning capacity of
an employee when he engaged in the injury. But once he got ok he start work
again.

reduces the earning capacity of an employee

CATEGORY OF ACCIDENTS
There are FOUR categories of accidents:
1
2
3
4

MINOR ACCIDENTS
REPORTABLE ACCIDENTS
FATAL ACCIDENTS
ACCIDENTS DUE TO DANGERIOUS OCCURANCE

>MINOR ACCIDENTS
It includes all those accidents that are

Less harmful in nature to the worker

Preventing employees from working for the period less than 48 hours from the
time of accidents.

These accidents are not reported to the higher management.

These accidents are easily control.

>REPORTABLE ACCIDETNS
It includes the category of accidents which is little complicated then of minor
accidents.
Here the injuries caused to the worker prevent him from working for the period of
48 hours or more.
Here supervisor is responsible to report to the higher management and arrange
another worker so that the production could not be affected.
>ACCIDENTS DUE TO THE DANGRIOUS OCCURANCES
These occurs due to:
Bursting of vessel for containing steam under pressure greater then atmospheric
pressure.
Failure of crank or other appliances.
Explosion of fire causing damage to any room or place where person are
employed.

 Explosion of container used for storage of any gas or liquid at a pressure greater
than atmospheric pressure.
