If you don't find the answer to your question, please contact the HR support on
- What is considered a work accident?
Any injury which occurs during your work, on site or off site.
- Is the time spent from/to home/work accounted for?
No, this is your own time and any injuries incurred then are not considered work related accidents. If you were travelling on business and injured, that would be considered a work related injury.
- What’s the procedure in case of a work accident? What should I do if I'm unable to work?
You must report to the gatehouse for medical treatment, however small. All injuries must be recorded by the person who treats you. More serious injuries are always investigated. Lost time injuries are reported to the authorities and are always investigated. If you cannot come to work due to a work related injury you will be on paid leave.
