In addition to this, Compensation to be paid to the Employees involved in an accident is enormous the management suffers loses involving Direct cost & Indirect cost.

Direct Cost:

The wages of employees is 6 to 10 times the normal wages because of the loss of goods and services, compensation and the cost of medical aid, the cost incurred on training a new worker, loss due to waste of raw material; and loss of production and quality arising out of the in experience and lack of skill of the new employee.

Indirect Cost:

  • The cost of the employed time because he has been without work because of his accident.
  • The cost of the last time because other employees stop work, out of curiosity, out of sympathy with the injured employee or because they have to assist the injured worker.
  • The cost incured on the machine or tools that might have been damaged,  and/ for the cost of the spoilage of material when the accident occurred.
  • The loss or profits on the production which the injured employee would have been responsible for, including the loss in cross because the machine on which he was working was Idle.

  • Overhead Cost:  The expense cure in is in your own light, heat, rent and such other items, which continues to be used while the injured employees is a non producer.
   It is obviously then, that an accident cause a lot of suffering and loss of the employees, the employer, the government, and even to society. It is particularly hard on the employee's family, especially when he is the only bread-winner; every accident lowers the morale of his fellow workers.
