The difference between a work accident and a work-related disease
Do you know the difference between a work accident and a work-related disease? Although the two words often go by the term 'work injury', it is not the same, and it can be misleading.
Employers are legally bound to protect their employees from work accidents and work-related diseases. Occupational accident insurance provides coverage for work accidents, and you can take one out with an insurer. The ADIS offers office insurance, which includes, among other things, the compulsory Occupational accident insurance.On the other hand, Labour Market Insurance (AES) provides coverage for Work-related diseases after previous registration at AES.In case of an accident, the description of the injury and the documentation of the working conditions must be as detailed and accurate as possible. It is because it can be crucial in terms of having the claim recognised or not.What is a work accident?
