As an employer, you are responsible to provide a safe and healthy working environment. Workplace injury and worker compensation are considered huge liabilities for employers. Their well-being, safety and health are keys to long-term success. Workers’ compensation ensures that the workers are sufficiently compensated if they sustain an injury at work. The Workers' Compensation for injured workers thus acts as a financial safety net during an emergency.

- A worker sustaining an injury at work leading to a partial or total disability
- Death of an employee due to an occupational hazard
