Dear all Seniors,
I need your guidance on the following. One of our company employees met with a road accident while returning home after finishing his duties on a motorcycle. He is now hospitalized since two days.
1) Whether this incident is to be considered a lost time incident in the company's annual statistics.
2) Are there any liabilities on the company in this case regarding compensation, etc.
Please advise.

Dear Friend,
Was he covered under the ESI scheme? If so, while returning home after finishing his duties, he will come under the purview of employment injury and would be eligible for ESI benefits. Kindly inform the nearest dispensary.
On humanitarian grounds, the company should take care of his medical expenses since this injury is connected with employment.

Dear Sir,
Thank you for the immediate reply. On humanitarian grounds, the company has already started taking care of him. The person is covered under ESI. However, I would like to know the legal aspects for my knowledge and whether I should include this incident in my annual statistics for calculating the frequency rate and SR of the company or not.
Please guide accordingly.

Dear Ajay,
You don't need to count this case as an LTI in your Annual Statistics. This is an off-site incident, and you only need to report this case and claim it to the insurance company for the insurance benefits.

Dear Alphonse,
As the accident happened off-site and after working hours, it doesn't come under your company's liability. However, if your company is covered by any insurance, you need to inform them immediately orally within 24 hours and through a letter within a week.
It would be appreciated if you could provide support and treatment from the company's side on humanitarian grounds.

Dear Ajay,
Please note that if any accidents occur outside the premises as a statutory requirement, you need not worry as the employer. A recent judgment by the Chennai High Court in a similar case stated that if transportation is provided by the employer for employees, then only the employer has to compensate in any way, whether through insurance coverage or from their own pocket if coverage is not in place.
