What is a Workplace Accident?

 Accidents which take place in the workplace are referred to as occupational accidents. Workplace accidents include events that damage property, inhibit a particular workplace function, or cause harm to a person located in the workplace.

Occupational accidents are also referred to as work-related accidents, and the personal harm they cause may be referred to as an “occupational injury,” “occupational death,” or other label which specifies that the cause of the harm was occupational in nature. 

A workplace accident, also commonly known as an occupational accident, is an unforeseen event in the workplace that results in an injury, or a casualty, to an employee. 

A workplace accident can result in physical or mental harm (or both), including any injury, disease, or even death. 

Common incidents that can be regarded as workplace accidents include attacks by humans or even animals, any cases of acute poisoning, slips or falls on staircases or pavements, and accidents caused while on board any means of transportation.
