YES, you need to also inform the Factory Inspector if the accident that resulted in the death of the individual has occurred within the factory premises. He will visit (inspect) the factory/establishment and will carry out investigation (if he feels the need to do so) and will submit his report.
You generally need all these documents for settlement of his WC, I wonder how WC was paid out without the FI's report. You also need to apply for the member's PF, pension and Insurance amount (from PF).
Good Luck, A.B.

Yes. you need to inform Factory Inspector about the death and accident took place at your factory premises. Also submit all the dues paid to the victim's wife, so that you don't held liable for further payment of compensation. And this information needs to be updated in Accident Register also

Dear friend,
Pl see the definition of " Worker" u/s 2(l) of the Factories Act,1948. Every person employed in any manufacturing process or in any other work incidental to or connected with the mfg process is a worker under the Act. So, a senior manager production is also a worker and the accident, if happened within the premises of the factory while he was on duty, has to be reported u/s 88 of the Act.

It's always necessary to inform/report formally the Factory Inspector irrespective of whether or not the person(s) involved within the purview so far as when it happens within the precincts of the Factory. This will avoid lots of complications and implications. It's also desirable to apply this reporting even when it's happened outside the 'precincts but in the course of employment' .Such an action will save us from the blues of 'not reporting', better is always better.

It is to be informed to the Factory Inspectorate through report. Inspection will be made by them. Further, a show cause notice will be issued to the Occupier and since it is Fatal Accident, a case will also be filed in the court against the Occupier. Finally a fine will be imposed.Some of the Judges insist for the physical appearance of the Occupier in the court.

Helloo Ceramic Anbalagan, wait wait wait....just go slow man....
This is a general discussion and all the fraternity members have responded to the specific query raised by Karlekar Sudir.
You are referring to the situation that could be the outcome of the inspector's report (subsequent to his inspection). If he concludes or has reasons to believe that the fatality is due to the negligence on the part of the employer, then he may issue a show cause. He may file a case only if he is not satisfied with the reply to the show cause notice. Imposition of fine is much later and only if it the accusation against the occupier is proved. Judges may insist for the physical appearance of the Occupier, but then representation can be made by anybody.
So cool down and ready the postings carefully.
Cheers, A.B.

Dear Mr.Sudhir,
You did a mistake by not informing the accident to the Concerned Factory Inspector under Factory Act. First you should inform the the incident to the Factory inspector and subsequent to police and then to the Commissioner of Workmen Compensation Act. All the formalities you did correct but except reporting to Factory Inspector Now you regularize this procedure. otherwise it will be a serious violation of the Factory Act. Payment of Compensation with agreement is separate and notification statutory is separate To know the cause of accident is a must by the Inspector on safety point of view. You regularize your report.
