What is production is known to many.In various branches of the national economy, millions of people work. And how dangerous for health or even for life there can be such a job, it is not worth talking about. Take at least the coal industry. By the level of danger, it ranks first. Also in the list of hazardous industries for health includes construction, the agro-industrial complex and even the socio-cultural sphere.
A production injury can happen to anyoneworking person. It can occur through the fault of the victim, due to wear and tear of equipment or due to incorrect organization of labor in the workplace. But minor injuries are often simply hushed up or formalized as everyday. After all, no manager of the enterprise will not want to create problems for himself because of a usual cut or bruise. He simply pays the worker temporary disability and thus solves this problem amicably. This, of course, has its share of truth. After all, neither the victim nor the management of the enterprise are reluctant to fill a pile of papers due to some trifles and accept commissions from supervisory bodies, which in passing will find many more flaws in terms of labor safety. But if there has been a serious industrial injury, the victim can claim the compensation that is due to him, which is provided by law.
In many countries there is a specialSocial Fund, which deals with insurance against accidents of this kind, as well as against occupational diseases. The funds of this Fund are intended just for paying to the victims. And if a work injury is received at work, then the enterprise must compensate all costs associated with this incident. And then it can already demand compensation from the Fund for the funds that were spent on these payments.
And although formally employers do not lose muchsuch insurance payments, they still try to hide them. And the reason lies in the fact that for each such insurance event the Foundation creates its commission. And its members conduct an audit at the enterprise to establish the cause of the injury and find the culprit of the incident. If the commission finds out that in this production safety precautions are not fully observed, then the enterprise not only will not receive money from the Fund, but also respond for violations. And depending on how serious this industrial trauma will be, responsibility can be not only administrative, but criminal. There are also cases of "piece" injuries, when the "victim" wants to fraudulently obtain insurance. And the task of the Fund's inspectors is to expose such a "victim".
But there are cases when the employer does notconcludes a labor agreement with the wage worker. This is mostly practiced among private entrepreneurs. In this case, neither the employee nor the enterprise makes deductions to the insurance fund. And if there is an industrial trauma, the duties and rights of such workers will not be confirmed by anything. And in this case they will be able to receive compensation only through the court. And this process is long - and not always it gives a positive result.
Also, some entrepreneurs pay theirworkers part of the salary in the "envelopes", and according to the official statements, only the minimum wage passes. This they also try to save on taxes and other payments. But such savings can "come out sideways" if there is an industrial trauma. Then for the period of disability, the victim will receive small payments. After all, their amount depends on the average official salary. And if the irreparable happens, the family of the victim can not hope for a decent compensation in connection with the death of the breadwinner. So it's better not to save a penny on insurance payments. Otherwise it will be too late to "bite your elbows."
