• Employees can claim if they are injured in an accident ‘in the course and scope of duty’ (in other words, while they are doing their work).
• Employees can claim if they get a disease caused by the work (an occupational disease).
• If an employee dies from the accident or disease, their dependants can claim

Employees who are drivers or who have to be transported as part of their work may be involved in motor vehicle accidents while working. Motor vehicle accidents at work are covered by the Road Accident Fund Act. The accident must be reported to the Compensation Commissioner, and will follow the normal Compensation procedure, but the money will be paid by the Road Accident Fund.
