THE MINISTER OF LABOR AND SOCIAL POLICY APPROVED AN ORDER FOR DETERMINING THE COEFFICIENT OF OCCUPATIONAL INJURIES BY ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES FOR 2022

The Minister of Labor and Social Policy Galab Donev approved an Order for determining the coefficient of occupational injuries by economic activities, which will be applied in 2022.

According to the Health and Safety at Work Act, employers are obliged to fully insure at their own expense the employees who perform work that endangers their life and health. This measure is mandatory for enterprises in economic activities where the risk of an accident at work is equal to or higher than the national average.

Accident insurance covers the risks of death, permanent incapacity for work and temporary incapacity for work due to an accident at work.

The insurance obligation does not apply to employees who work in the administration of the enterprise or perform tasks that are ancillary and not directly related to its core business.
