job-related accidents

If your job involves you operating a saw, and you accidentally cut off your thumb at work, you had a "job-related accident."

If you were at home and cut off your thumb with a kitchen knife, that would be a "home-related accident."

What are job related accidents.

If i work as a house builder and fall off the roof of a house I am building breaking my leg in the fall.

If I work in a factory and slip on a wet floor and sprain my ankle.

If I am a farmer and a tractor rolls over on top of me.

All these are job related accidents.

In many western countries companies are made to pay compensation to their workers who are injured in job related accidents.
Companies are required to provide safe conditions for their employees and not to require their employees to undertake unsafe tasks.
