Industrial injuries

Here you can read about industrial injuries.

An industrial injury covers two different concepts:

• Accidents at work 
• Occupational diseases

In order for you to get compensation or other benefits, you need to have your injury recognised as an industrial injury.

Decision and compensation

Once we have sufficient information, we usually make a comprehensive decision. 

This means that you will be told, in the same decision letter, whether the injury has been recognised and whether you are entitled to compensation.

If you disagree with our decision, you may submit the decision to the National Social Appeals Board.
