When is an accident at work considered to have occurred?

An accident at work, also known as an occupational accident, is an accident that occurs to the employee on the way to work, also known as a commuting accident, or during working hours on the company premises - i.e. in direct connection with the insured activity.

This also distinguishes it from leisure accidents. These occur in the personal sphere of the accident victim. The Occupational Health and Safety Act (ArbSchG), the Occupational Safety Act (ASiG) and the Social Code SGB VII "Statutory Accident Insurance" form the legal core for accidents at work.

What criteria must be met for an accident at work to be recognised?

The responsible insurance provider decides when an accident is recognised as an accident at work. The following requirements must be met:

  • There must be an insured activity
  • The accident at work must have resulted in damage to health.
  • The accident must have had an external impact on the body of the injured person.

When does an accident at work have to be reported?

An accident at work must be reported if an insured person is injured or killed as a result of the accident. In the event of an injury, the incapacity to work must last longer than three days for the employer to report the accident to the accident insurance institution. Serious injuries also require a report to the occupational health and safety department of the competent state authority.

When is insurance cover provided?

Insurance cover is provided for activities that are directly related to the insured activity, e.g. when renewing, transporting, storing and maintaining work equipment. Employees are also insured during company sports, company outings and company parties as well as school pupils during school outings and school parties, provided these are organised by the school.

When is there no insurance cover?

An accident at work requires a temporary external event that affects the body and leads to damage to health. Injuries or damage to health without external impact, such as swallowing, are not insured. Property damage is also not covered by statutory accident insurance unless it is caused by first aid measures or is directly related to the accident at work.

Accident at work in the home office

In principle, an accident while working from home can also be categorised as an accident at work in accordance with the new provisions of Section 8 (1) sentence 3 SGB VII. Accident insurance cover when working from home requires an explicit agreement between the employer and employee and is usually set out in writing in the form of a supplementary agreement to the employment contract.

When is an accident while working from home considered an accident at work?

An accident in the home office is considered an accident at work if the accident occurred as a result of the insured activity and the preceding action serves the business purpose: If the employee falls down the basement stairs on the way to the home office to organise files or connect the work mobile phone, this is considered an accident at work. The situation is different if a private parcel is delivered and the employee is injured on the way to the front door.

How do I report an accident at home?

The accident should be reported to the employer in writing as soon as possible. The course of the accident should be described as precisely as possible and preferably documented with photos. Any witnesses should also be named immediately.

The correct behaviour in the event of an accident at work

1. Provide first aid and make an emergency call

If the accident has occurred at work, the company's internal reporting chain should be activated immediately and, depending on the severity of the injury, the emergency services should be called.

2. Documentation in the dressing book

All accidents and injuries in the workplace must be documented: In addition to the physical reporting pad, WERO has designed a digital first aid book. This makes it easier to make entries, eliminates the need for physical filing and other work steps and also complies with the GDPR.

3. Consult an emergency doctor

If the injury is not so serious that the person concerned needs to go to hospital, a transit doctor will be called in. This is a medical expert who specialises in accidents at work.

4. Reporting an accident at work

The statutory accident insurance institution of the respective company decides whether an accident is categorised as an accident at work. The personnel management must submit the accident report in the form of a written accident report accordingly. The commercial employers' liability insurance association is responsible for private commercial enterprises, the agricultural employers' liability insurance association is responsible for agriculture and forestry, and the public sector accident insurance provider is responsible for the public sector and social institutions.

5. Check entitlement to injury benefit

Injury benefit is paid in the event of incapacity to work as a result of an accident at work or an occupational disease (illness as a result of an occupational activity, e.g. caused by chemicals). The employers' liability insurance associations pay the injury benefit after the end of the continued payment of remuneration by the employer and during the period of medical rehabilitation.

Continued payment of remuneration after an accident at work

In the first six weeks after an accident at work, the continued payment of wages is no different from that for a normal illness. After that, the injured employee receives an injury benefit from the responsible insurance provider amounting to 80 per cent of the normal salary.

If a child under the age of twelve has an accident at school or on the way to school, a parent can be released from work to look after the child and receive child injury benefit. The prerequisite for this is a medical certificate confirming that the child is in need of care.

What are the preparations for a possible accident at work?

The following measures should be taken internally before a possible accident and checked regularly:

  1. Is the reporting chain known and can the emergency call be made quickly?
  2. Are the contact details of the emergency doctor known?
  3. Is sufficient first aid material available in accordance with Section 25 (2) of DGUV Regulation 1?
  4. Who checks the first aid boxes regularly and when?
  5. Is there a first aid room in accordance with Section 25 (4) of DGUV Regulation 1 and is it equipped accordingly?
  6. Are the first aid materials, equipment and facilities properly labelled?
  7. Is the required percentage of first aiders available for the company and distributed across all shifts?
  8. Are the first aiders known to all employees and are they trained accordingly and receive further training every two years?
  9. Are employees instructed at least once a year in accordance with §4 of the DGUV regulation? Is a company paramedic necessary?
  10. Are first aid measures recorded correctly and handled in accordance with data protection law?

WERO services address precisely these challenges and operational requirements. Our specialist and medical product consultants will be happy to instruct your employees accordingly, check the available first aid material and regularly check that it is complete.
