An occupational accident is defined as an accident that causes injury to any part or function of the body or causes death to an employee, occurring during the working process, associated with the performance of work and work tasks. To prevent occupational accidents, the law has clear and specific regulations on the responsibilities of both employees and employers.
However, many occupational accidents still occur and lead to many disputes. The cause of these heartbreaking incidents can come from the enterprise or the employee, or from a combination of faults on both sides. So, what should employees and employers pay attention to in order to minimize occupational accidents; at the same time, how should both sides behave when this incident occurs? The analysis and sharing of Mr. Phung Quang Cuong, Partner of NHQuang&Associates and Mediator of Vietnam International Commercial Mediation Center, given in the interview will help you have a more general view of this issue.
