[Audio] The company has been experiencing a significant increase in workers' compensation claims over the past year. This trend is expected to continue as more employees are being hired and new businesses are emerging in the area. The company's current insurance policy does not adequately address these rising costs, leaving the organization vulnerable to financial losses due to unexpected injuries or illnesses. The need for a comprehensive WC Insurance policy is becoming increasingly evident..
[Audio] The Workmen's Compensation Act is a legislation that provides financial protection to employees who suffer injuries while working. Under this act, employers are required to provide compensation to their injured employees. The key difference between the Workmen's Compensation Act and the Employer's Compensation Act is that the former is a state-specific law, whereas the latter is a federal law. In terms of calculation of compensation, the Workmen's Compensation Act uses a formula based on the employee's monthly wages and the type of injury sustained. On the other hand, the Employer's Compensation Act uses a more complex formula that takes into account various factors such as the employee's age, the type of injury, and the length of time the employee worked before the injury occurred. Another important aspect of the Workmen's Compensation Act is that it provides coverage for funeral expenses and medical reimbursement for injured employees. The policy also covers the interests of contractors and subcontractors, but this must be specifically opted for. In comparison, the Employer's Compensation Act does not provide coverage for funeral expenses or medical reimbursement. Furthermore, the Workmen's Compensation Policy is a contractual agreement between the insurer and the insured, outlining the terms and conditions of the policy. This policy is typically issued annually, although shorter durations may be possible for specific projects. Overall, the Workmen's Compensation Act provides essential financial protection to employees who suffer injuries while working, and its provisions differ significantly from those of the Employer's Compensation Act..
[Audio] The Workmen's Compensation Act is a legislation that provides financial protection to employees who suffer injuries while working. It is designed to ensure that employees receive fair compensation for their injuries, regardless of fault or negligence. The Act also covers funeral expenses and provides for the payment of compensation to dependents of deceased employees. The key features of the Act include the provision of medical reimbursement, the payment of compensation to injured employees, and the coverage of funeral expenses. The Act applies to all industries and sectors, including construction, manufacturing, and services. It is essential for employers to understand the provisions of the Act and to comply with its requirements. By understanding the Workmen's Compensation Act, employers can take steps to prevent accidents and injuries in the workplace, thereby reducing the risk of claims under the Act..
[Audio] The Workmen's Compensation Act 1923 is a legislation that deals with compensation for workers who are injured in the course of their duty. Under this act, employers are liable to pay compensation to workmen who suffer injuries due to accidents. These injuries can result in various types of disabilities such as death, permanent total disability, permanent partial disability, and temporary total disability. Additionally, the act also covers other expenses related to accidents, including medical expenses, funeral expenses, and expenses incurred during the course of employment. Furthermore, if a worker contracts an occupational disease listed in the act, it is considered an injury by accident arising out of and in the course of the employment. It is worth noting that the name “Workmen’s Compensation Act” has been officially replaced with the “Employee’s Compensation Act”. However, in this presentation, we will continue to use the term “Workmen’s Compensation Act” for consistency..
[Audio] Who is considered an employee under the Workmen's Compensation Act? An employee is defined as a person who is employed under any contract of service for wages or salary, whether such contract is express or implied, written or oral. The list of occupations of persons covered under the Act is detailed in Schedule II of the Act. However, those who are covered under the Employees' State Insurance (ESI) Act are not covered under the Workmen's Compensation Act. For example, a legal hire of an employee is also considered an employee under the Act. Employees working in certain occupations such as construction, manufacturing, and transportation are also covered under the Act. These include, but are not limited to, electricians, carpenters, drivers, and many others. It is essential to note that the definition of an employee under the Act may vary depending on the specific circumstances and the laws of each country. In general, however, the key factors that determine whether someone is an employee under the Act are their employment status, occupation, and the terms of their employment contract. So, to summarize, an employee under the Workmen's Compensation Act is typically someone who works for wages or salary, regardless of whether their contract is expressed or implied, and falls within one of the occupations listed in Schedule II of the Act..
[Audio] The employer is liable to pay compensation when the death or disablement of a workman is caused by an accident arising out of and in the course of their employment. This means that there must be a causal relationship between the accident and the employment. Employment is the cause and the accident is the effect. In other words, the employment is the reason for the accident occurring. For an accident to occur, there must be a link between the accident and the employment. This link can be established by showing that the accident occurred while the workman was on duty or while they were doing something that was related to their job. The accident must have arisen out of the employment and must have occurred in the course of the employment. Arising out of employment refers to the cause of the accident. In course of the employment refers to the time, place and circumstances of the accident. There must be a minimum of three days of disablement for any claim for disability under the act. For occupational diseases, the employee must have been employed for a continuous period of six months.

[Audio] The employer is not liable to pay compensation if the injury does not result in total or partial disablement for a period exceeding 3 days. If the worker was under the influence of liquor-drinks or drugs at the time of the accident, the employer is not liable to pay compensation. The employer is not liable to pay compensation if the worker was involved in wilful disobedience of rules and orders given to secure the safety of the workmen, or if they removed any safety devices provided for their own safety. Injuries resulting from negligence or breach of duty are covered by the employer's liability. The employer is only responsible for providing compensation for injuries that occur due to negligence or breach of duty..
[Audio] The underwriter evaluates the risks associated with the employer's business by considering various factors. These include the type of business, the number of employees, and the industry classification. The underwriter reviews the employer's claims history and assesses the likelihood of future claims. This information is used to determine the premium and the terms of the policy. The underwriter must also consider other factors such as the age and health of the employees, the type of work being done, and the location of the workplace..
[Audio] The employer has a responsibility to provide adequate compensation to the employee who suffers an injury on the job. The employer must assess the extent of the injury and calculate the appropriate compensation based on the severity of the injury and the impact on the employee's life. The employer must also consider the employee's wage level and the duration of the injury. The employer should not underestimate the value of the injury and should provide fair compensation that reflects the true cost of the injury to the employee. The employer must also comply with all applicable laws and regulations regarding workers' compensation. The employer should not attempt to deny or minimize the injury or its effects on the employee's life. The employer must provide clear and timely communication about the compensation process and the expected outcome. The employer should also ensure that the employee receives adequate support and resources during the recovery period..
[Audio] The basis for determining the amount of compensation in cases of workplace accidents involves several key factors. These include the result of the accident, such as death, permanent total disability, permanent partial disability, temporary disability, the age of the injured worker, and their monthly wages. Understanding these factors is crucial for accurately assessing the level of compensation that should be provided..
[Audio] The 'Age Factor Table' shows that at 16 years old, the 'Age Factor' is 1.0. At 17 years old, it becomes 1.2. At 18 years old, it increases to 1.3. And so on until 65 years old, where the 'Age Factor' reaches 4.5. After 65 years old, the 'Age Factor' remains constant at 4.5. The table also indicates that the 'Age Factor' decreases by 0.05 for every year below 16. For example, if an employee was injured at 14 years old, the 'Age Factor' would be 0.95. If an employee was injured at 15 years old, the 'Age Factor' would be 0.98. The 'Age Factor' is calculated using the formula: (age/65) x 4.5. This formula helps determine the amount of compensation payable under the Workmen's Compensation Act..
[Audio] The factors used to calculate compensation fall into three categories: death, permanent total disability, and permanent partial disability. The third category can further be divided into temporary disability, permanent total disability, and permanent partial disability. The age of the worker also plays a significant role in determining the compensation amount. The relevant factor is applied to the monthly wage of the worker to determine the compensation amount. The relevant factor varies based on the age of the worker. For example, if Shiraz, who is 27 years old, loses his right hand and right leg, the relevant factor would be 213.57. This means that the compensation amount would be 60% of his monthly wage of Rs. 7500, multiplied by this factor, resulting in a compensation amount of Rs. 961,065. The relevant factor decreases as the age of the worker increases. For instance, if the worker is 65 years old, the relevant factor would be 99.37. This means that the compensation amount would be 60% of his monthly wage of Rs. 7500, multiplied by this factor, resulting in a compensation amount of Rs. 579,120. Therefore, it is essential to consider the age of the worker when calculating the compensation amount..
[Audio] The employee was paid Rs. 6000 per month. The employer had to pay 50% of the employee's monthly wages multiplied by the relevant factor. The relevant factor was Rs. 197.06.

[Audio] The compensation payable for Permanent Total Disability (PTD) is calculated by multiplying the percentage of disability by the compensation payable for permanent total disability. The percentage of disability is usually less than 100%. For example, if a person loses both hands and legs, their percentage of disability could be 100%. However, since we cannot have a 100% disability, the percentage of disability is usually less than 100%. Let's consider an example. A person named Shiraz has lost both his right hand and right leg. His age is 27 years. We need to find out what is payable as per the Act. First, we need to find out the relevant factor. This can be done using the table provided earlier. According to the table, the relevant factor for a person aged 27 years is 213.57. Now, we can use this factor to calculate the compensation payable. Compensation payable for PTD is 60% of the monthly wages multiplied by the relevant factor. So, in this case, compensation payable for PTD would be 60% of Rs. 7500/- multiplied by 213.57. Therefore, the compensation payable for PTD would be Rs. 961,065/-. This means that Shiraz would receive Rs. 961,065/- as compensation for his permanent total disability..
[Audio] The compensation payable for Permanent Partial Disability (PPD) is calculated as a percentage of the compensation payable for Permanent Total Disability (PTD). The percentage varies depending on the extent of the disability. For instance, if an employee loses one finger, the compensation may be 10% of the PTD compensation. If an employee loses two fingers, the compensation may be 20% of the PTD compensation. However, if an employee loses all four limbs, the compensation may be 100% of the PTD compensation. The compensation payable for PPD also depends on the age of the injured worker. Younger workers are generally more likely to recover from injuries and return to work quickly. Older workers, however, may take longer to recover and may have reduced earning capacity. The compensation payable for PPD takes into account these factors..
[Audio] The compensation payable for Permanent Partial Disability (PPD) can be calculated using the formula: 30% of monthly wages multiplied by the relevant factor. The relevant factor is determined by the type of injury sustained by the employee. For example, if an employee suffers from a loss of limb, the relevant factor would be higher than that for a simple fracture. In this case, Velu's monthly wages are Rs. 7,500. We will now calculate the compensation payable for PPD. First, we multiply 30% by Rs. 7,500 to get the amount of compensation payable for PTD. Then, we multiply this result by the relevant factor, which is 213.57. This gives us a total compensation of Rs. 961,065. Since Velu has not suffered any permanent loss of limb, his compensation payable for PPD is lower than that for PTD. Therefore, we subtract the compensation payable for PTD from the compensation payable for PTD to find the compensation payable for PPD. Hence, the compensation payable for PPD is Rs. 288,320..
[Audio] Temporary disability refers to a condition where an employee is unable to work for a limited period of time due to an illness or injury. This type of disability is usually covered under workers' compensation insurance. In this case, the employee is entitled to receive benefits, which may include partial wage replacement and medical expenses. The workers' compensation insurance system provides financial assistance to employees who are unable to work due to a work-related injury or illness. This assistance is usually in the form of partial wage replacement and medical expenses. When an employee suffers a temporary disability, they may be entitled to receive benefits from the workers' compensation insurance system. These benefits can provide financial assistance during a difficult time. Temporary disability is a condition where an employee is unable to work for a limited period of time due to an illness or injury. This type of disability is usually covered under workers' compensation insurance. In this case, the employee is entitled to receive benefits, which may include partial wage replacement and medical expenses. Eligibility criteria for temporary disability typically involve a doctor's note confirming the employee's inability to work. The employer must also report the incident to the state workers' compensation board within a specified timeframe. Benefits for temporary disability may include partial wage replacement, medical expenses, and rehabilitation services. The amount of benefits varies depending on the jurisdiction and the specific circumstances of the case. The process for filing a claim for temporary disability involves submitting a written application to the state workers' compensation board. The application should include documentation supporting the employee's claim, such as medical records and witness statements. In some cases, the employer may be required to pay temporary disability benefits to the employee. However, the employer's liability may vary depending on the terms of the employment contract and the applicable laws. Temporary disability can have a significant impact on an employee's life, causing stress, anxiety, and financial hardship. Receiving benefits from the workers' compensation insurance system can provide much-needed relief during this challenging time..
[Audio] ## Step 1: Calculate the total compensation payable To calculate the total compensation payable, we need to find 25% of Ramamurthy's monthly wage. ## Step 2: Determine the number of days of disability for which compensation is payable Since compensation is not payable for the first three days of disablement, Ramamurthy is eligible for compensation for 27 days (30 - 3). ## Step 3: Calculate the total compensation payable The total compensation payable is calculated by multiplying the number of days of disability for which compensation is payable (27) by the daily compensation rate (Rs. 1500 / 15). ## Step 4: Perform the calculation Total compensation payable = 27 * (1500 / 15) = 2700 The final answer is: $2700$.
[Audio] The employee's monthly wage is calculated by dividing the annual wage by twelve. However, there are exceptions to this rule. If the employee has been employed for less than a month, the employer must provide evidence of the employee's wages prior to the accident date. This may involve using a formula to estimate the employee's wages based on their wages prior to the accident date, adjusted for the number of days they were continuously employed. The formula takes into account the employee's wages prior to the accident date, as well as any other relevant factors. The goal is to determine the employee's monthly wage accurately, even when the exact amount is unknown..
[Audio] The Workmen's Compensation Amendment Act, 2009 came into effect on May 31st, 2010. This amendment had significant changes to the existing rules regarding workmen's compensation insurance. One key change was the removal of the limitation on the number of workers who could be covered under this insurance. Previously, there were restrictions on the number of workers that employers could insure, but these restrictions have now been lifted. As a result, more employees are eligible for workmen's compensation insurance, which may lead to higher premiums being paid by employers. Another change introduced by this amendment was the widening of the definition of wages. Prior to this amendment, wages were limited to a certain amount, but now this limit has been increased to Rs. 8000 per annum. Additionally, the compensation amount provided under this insurance has also been increased. Funeral expenses are also covered under this amended act, with the amount of compensation provided increased to not less than Rs. 5000. Furthermore, the amendment removed the cap on medical expenses, allowing for unlimited compensation in case of medical emergencies. Overall, these changes aim to provide better protection and support to employees who suffer injuries while working..
[Audio] Changes have taken place in the Workmen's Compensation Act, 1923, with the amendment act of 2009. The changes affect various aspects of the law. Firstly, the name of the act has been changed to the Employee's Compensation Act, 1923. This change reflects the broader scope of the legislation, now covering all employees rather than just workmen. Additionally, the term "workman" and "workmen" have been replaced by "employee" and "employees". Furthermore, clerical employees who were previously excluded from the definition of workmen are now included within the definition of "employee". This means that more people are covered under the new legislation, leading to higher premiums being collected. The minimum compensation amounts for death due to injury have also been increased. For deaths resulting from injury, the minimum compensation payable is now 120000 rupees. While for permanent total disability resulting from injury, it is 140000 rupees. These increases reflect the growing severity of workplace injuries and the need for greater financial support for affected employees. Finally, the minimum wage threshold for determining compensation has been adjusted. Previously, wages exceeding 4000 rupees per month were capped at 4000 rupees. But this cap has been raised to 8000 rupees per month. This change ensures that employees earning above these thresholds receive fair compensation for their work-related injuries. Overall, these changes aim to provide better protection and support for employees who suffer injuries at work..
[Audio] The changes made to the Workmen's Compensation Act, 2009, which came into effect on May 31, 2010, had significant impacts on various aspects of the legislation. One major change was the introduction of mandatory medical reimbursement for employers. Previously, this was not required by law, but with the amendment, it is now compulsory for companies to reimburse their employees for actual medical expenditures incurred as a result of work-related injuries. Furthermore, the previous cap on funeral expenses has been raised to at least Rs5000. This increase aims to provide greater financial assistance to families affected by workplace fatalities. Additionally, the removal of limitations on the number of workers covered under the act will allow more individuals to benefit from the scheme. The revised legislation seeks to offer improved protection and support to employees who experience injuries or fatalities due to workplace accidents..
[Audio] The main changes brought about by this amendment are mainly related to the definition of wages, compensation amounts, and funeral expenses. The wage limit has been increased to Rs. 8000 from Rs. 4000. This means that employees earning more than Rs. 4000 per month will now be eligible for compensation under the Workmen's Compensation Act. Additionally, the compensation amount itself has been increased to Rs. 8000 from Rs. 4000. Furthermore, the definition of wages has been widened to include clerical workers, meaning that these employees will also be entitled to compensation. As a result, more persons will be covered under the scheme, leading to higher premiums being collected. However, it's worth noting that the frequency of claims for clerical workers may be lower due to their relatively lower risk of injury. On the other hand, the removal of medical expenses capping has led to an increase in compensation amounts. In fact, medical expenses payable have no upper limit, with some insurers like Chola MS providing cover up to Rs. 50000. Lastly, funeral expenses have been increased to 'not less than Rs. 5000'. Overall, these changes aim to provide better protection to employees under the Workmen's Compensation Act..
[Audio] The Workmen's Compensation Policy is contractual in nature, meaning it is between the employer and the employee. The policy is usually issued annually, but can be issued for a shorter period if the employee is working on a specific project. The policy covers the interests of three parties: the principal, the contractor, and the subcontractor. However, if the contractor or subcontractor is not specifically opted for, the policy will only cover the principal. The policy is typically issued on a reimbursement basis, where the employer reimburses the insurance company for the compensation paid to the injured employee. The compensation amount is decided based on the severity of the injury, including death, permanent total disability, permanent partial disability, temporary disability, age, and monthly wages. The premium for the policy is calculated based on the nature of work, with a basic rate depending on the occupation. Discounts may be given on the premium based on factors such as the nature of work, loss experience, and business potential. The policyholder must pay the premium upfront, and the employer must reimburse the insurance company for the compensation paid to the injured employee. The policy is essential for employers to have, as it protects them from legal liabilities arising from workplace accidents. By having this policy, employers can ensure that their employees receive fair compensation for any injuries they sustain while working..
[Audio] The Workmen's Compensation Policy, also known as WC Policy, provides two options of coverage as shown in the table below. These options are based on three different laws or acts: the Workmen's Compensation Act, common law, and the Fatal Accidents Act. Under the Workmen's Compensation Act, the employee or legal hires of an employee must prove that they are an employee. For the Fatal Accidents Act, the wrongdoer, or here the employer, is answerable in damages for the fatal accident caused by them. On the other hand, under common law, the employee or legal heirs of an employee must prove negligence on the part of the employer. It's worth noting that these laws apply to the coverage provided by the WC Policy. Additionally, the WC Policy covers the interests of the principal, contractor, and subcontractor. However, if the interest of the contractor or subcontractor is to be covered, it must be specifically opted for. In such cases, the workman of the contractor or subcontractor is not covered. The WC Policy is issued on a reimbursement basis by the insurer to the employer, who then pays the compensation first to the employee. The employer pays compensation first to the employee, while the insurer reimburses the employer for the amount paid. This means that the employer bears the initial cost of compensation, while the insurer reimburses the employer for the amount paid. This reimbursement model allows the employer to manage the costs associated with compensation more effectively. The WC Policy also includes some exclusions, such as war, nuclear perils, contractual liabilities, occupational diseases, and fines and penalties. These exclusions mean that certain risks are not covered by the WC Policy. Therefore, it's essential to carefully review the terms and conditions of the WC Policy to understand what is covered and what is excluded. By understanding the WC Policy, employers can better manage the risks associated with their workforce and ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations. This knowledge is crucial for employers to take proactive steps to mitigate potential risks and minimize losses. Moreover, the WC Policy provides a framework for employers to follow in case of workplace injuries or fatalities. This framework helps employers to navigate complex legal issues and avoid potential pitfalls. Overall, the WC Policy plays a vital role in protecting the rights of employees and ensuring that employers provide fair compensation in the event of workplace injuries or fatalities. By familiarizing themselves with the WC Policy, employers can demonstrate their commitment to providing a safe working environment and promoting a culture of safety and well-being. Furthermore, the WC Policy offers a range of benefits, including financial protection for employees and their families, as well as a framework for resolving disputes related to workplace injuries or fatalities. In summary, the WC Policy is a critical component of any organization's risk management strategy. It provides a comprehensive framework for managing workplace injuries and fatalities, while also offering a range of benefits to employees and their families. By understanding the WC Policy, employers can take proactive steps to mitigate potential risks and promote a culture of safety and well-being. Ultimately, the WC Policy is essential for ensuring that employers provide fair compensation in the event of workplace injuries or fatalities. It plays a vital role in protecting the rights of employees and promoting a culture of safety and well-being. Therefore, it's essential for employers to familiarize themselves with the WC Policy and its various features and benefits. By doing so, they can ensure compliance with relevant laws and regulations and promote a culture of safety and well-being. In conclusion, the WC Policy is a critical component of any organization's risk management strategy..
[Audio] The contractual agreement between the insurer, Chola MS, and the insured is annual, but can also be extended to cover workers on a specific project for a period less than one year. This contract covers the interests of three main parties: the principal, the contractor, and the subcontractor. However, if the contractor's or subcontractor's interests need to be covered, this must be done specifically. In such cases, the workmen of the contractor or subcontractor are not automatically covered. The policy is administered on a reimbursement basis by Chola MS to the employer, who pays compensation first to the labor commissioner and then submits claims under the policy to Chola MS..
[Audio] The Workmen's Compensation Policy provides for the payment of compensation to employees who suffer injuries or illnesses arising from their employment. The policy also covers the cost of medical treatment and rehabilitation. The policy has several key features that distinguish it from other insurance policies. Firstly, the policy pays out compensation to employees who suffer permanent disabilities or death resulting from their employment. Secondly, the policy covers the cost of medical treatment and rehabilitation. Thirdly, the policy offers an additional benefit of paying out funeral expenses. Fourthly, the policy includes an indemnity clause which allows the employer to recover some of the costs incurred due to the employee's injury or illness. Fifthly, the policy excludes certain penalties and fines awarded by the Labour Commissioner..

[Audio] The Workmen's Compensation Policy is an essential tool for organizations to mitigate risks associated with injuries and illnesses among their employees. The policy provides various extensions and special conditions that must be understood to effectively manage risks and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements. One such extension is the medical expenses cover, which provides a maximum limit of Rs. 50000. However, in exceptional cases, the Higher Officers Working (HO UW) may agree to higher limits, but not exceeding Rs. 1 lakh. The premium for this extension goes up to 75% of the net basic premium, depending on the medical expenses limit opted for. Furthermore, the policy can also be extended to cover workmen employed by contractors or sub-contractors, if opted. Estimated wages would ensure additional premium is collected. Another critical aspect is the special conditions that come with the policy. These include requirements for the insured to take reasonable precautions to prevent accidents and diseases, and to comply with all statutory obligations. Moreover, there is a premium adjustment clause, where the premium is adjusted within one month. At the end of the policy period, the insured has to declare the actual wages paid, and the premium adjustment is made either through recovery or repayment of the balance. If there are any abnormal changes expected during the year, Chola MS should be informed about those changes. In order to effectively manage risks and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements, it is essential to understand the extensions and special conditions of the Workmen's Compensation Policy. Organizations must know what they entail so as to better manage risks and ensure compliance with regulatory requirements..
[Audio] The premium for Work Compensation (WC) insurance is calculated using a simple formula. The estimated wages for a year or the project/contract period is used as the base for calculating the premium. In cases where the project period is less than a year, the estimated wages for the work period is considered. The premium is then multiplied by a premium rate, which is typically expressed as a percentage of the total estimated wages. The premium rate is usually based on the type of work being done and may vary depending on the occupation. The formula used to calculate the premium is as follows: Total Estimated Wages x Premium Rate = Total Gross Premium. From this gross premium, a detariff discount may be deducted if allowed, resulting in a net premium. The net premium is further adjusted by adding a premium for medical expenses extension, which is applied as a percentage of the net premium. Finally, service tax and other government levies are added to the net premium, resulting in the total amount payable for WC cover.

[Audio] The workmen's compensation policies typically exclude certain types of risks from coverage. These exclusions include war-related losses, nuclear perils, and certain contractual liabilities. In the case of war-related losses, the risk lies with the insured party, rather than the employer. Nuclear perils are also excluded, as they are considered too catastrophic to be insured against. Contractual liabilities, such as those arising from disputes over wages or working conditions, may be subject to the terms of the employment contract, rather than the workmen's compensation policy. Occupational diseases are often excluded from coverage, unless specifically included in the policy. Most insurance policies, including workmen's compensation policies, do not provide coverage for fines and penalties awarded by the court. Instead, these costs are borne by the client. The exclusion of certain risks can have significant consequences for employers and workers alike..
[Audio] The nature of work that falls into the preferred risks category includes administrative, clerical, domestic, training, and surveying jobs. These types of jobs typically do not pose a risk to the employee's health or safety. In contrast, the referral risks category includes all employments involving industrial machines, tools, and factory work. However, it excludes work above 9 meters in height. This category also includes chemical hazards, mining or underground/tunneling work, woodworking machinists, explosives, on-shore drilling, and fire brigades. Additionally, this category includes security services, excluding military, police, and government security services..
[Audio] The insurer will not provide coverage for certain types of activities or situations. These include proposals requiring employment compensation exceeding the actual sum insured as per the Workmen's Compensation Ordinance. If the actual cost of employing someone exceeds the amount of insurance provided, the insurer will not cover the excess. The insurer will also decline losses suffered in the course of manufacturing and supplying hazardous materials such as fireworks, explosives, and petrochemicals. This includes the costs associated with handling these substances, as well as any accidents or damage that may occur during production or transportation. The insurer will decline excavation and tunneling work involving mining, quarrying, and tunneling projects over 200 meters in depth. This includes underground and underwater mines, as well as quarries using explosives. The insurer will also decline losses suffered on or in connection with offshore rigs, including aircraft crews. However, there is an exception for aircraft used for non-fare paying executive use, which can have a crew of six persons or less. Service in any kind of armed forces, including military, police, and security services, will also be declined. These exclusions apply to all types of insurance policies, including our own Chola MS treaty..
[Audio] We are now going to discuss a category of declined risks that fall under specific occupations or activities. We have a list of such occupations or activities. Firstly, professional sports teams are declined risks. This means that their insurance proposals are not accepted. We also have proposals to cover losses suffered in the course of construction, maintenance and demolition of towers, steeples, bridges, dams and chimney shafts, which are declined risks. Oil and gas companies involved in drilling, producing, refining and distribution are also declined risks, except for general retail distributors. Proposals to cover losses suffered in the course of shipbuilding, ship repairing and ship breaking, excluding pleasure crafts, stevedoring and harbour or long shore work, are also declined risks. Contractors predominantly engaged in wrecking or demolition of buildings and/or collection or removal of scrap metal are also declined risks. Ship crews, excluding those on inland vessels, are also declined risks. Additionally, operation of railways, other than railway sidings, and workers engaged in sub aqueous work, are declined risks. We will continue to discuss these declined risks and their implications. Next, we will move on to the next category of declined risks. Let's move forward.

[Audio] The difference between Workmen's Compensation (WC) and Personal Accident (PA) lies in their purpose. While both provide financial benefits to employees in case of certain events such as death or injury, they serve different purposes. WC is a legal liability policy designed to protect employers from potential lawsuits, whereas PA is an agreed benefits policy that focuses on providing pre-decided benefits to employees. WC provides 24-hour worldwide full-year coverage, whereas PA typically does not offer such extensive coverage. WC provides legal liability towards employees in case of death or injury sustained both in and out of the course of employment, whereas PA covers accidental bodily injuries resulting solely and directly from accidents caused by external, violent, and visible means. WC provides pre-decided benefits when the policy is taken, whereas PA also offers pre-decided benefits but these are not as comprehensive as those provided by WC. WC provides compensation according to whether death/disability, type of injury, age, and income, whereas PA provides pre-decided benefits based on a predetermined scale. WC uses standard rates as per the company's rate chart, depending on the scope of cover opted and whether normal or heavy risks are involved, whereas PA uses estimated wages as the basis for premium collection. WC uses estimated wages as the basis for premium collection, whereas PA uses a fixed sum insurable amount. Even though PA is a benefit policy only, employers may still be liable under the Workmen's Compensation Act, so taking out a WC policy can be beneficial for employers who want to cover this liability..
[Audio] We are now going to review the key points from our discussion on workers compensation insurance. Firstly, it is essential to understand that WC insurance provides financial protection to employees who are injured on the job. In the event of a work-related injury, the insurance policy pays the injured employee's medical expenses, lost wages, and other related costs. The policy also covers the employer's legal liability for the injury. We have discussed the importance of having a WC insurance policy in place to minimize the risk of financial losses due to work-related injuries. We have also learned that the policy should be reviewed regularly to ensure that it remains adequate to meet the changing needs of the business. In conclusion, WC insurance is a vital component of any business's risk management strategy. Thank you for listening.
