Any accident that has occurred due to the negligence of the employer, or other workers can be claimed for. Many a time an employer may not be directly found to be negligent, but still the law says that he has a responsibility towards his staff and he can be questioned in these cases.

It is the responsibility of an employer to see to it that he has hired responsible workers, who are not in any mental state to harm his co workers. He should also see to it that the workplace has been built according to the safety norms with proper ventilations and a fire extinguisher in all the floors. Also, there has to be regular check up of all the machines that have been used so that hazards like short circuits are prevented. By law, an employer must see to it that all the workers are provided with personal safety, failing which legal action can be taken against him.
Certain steps must be undertaken by the worker incase an accident has already occurred. He must see to it that he informs the supervisor about the mishap and gets the site inspected. He must also keep a diary where he records the accident and all the symptoms. He must also consult the doctor immediately.
