Accident Compensation of Occupational Fatalities in the Construction Industry

Abstract:

There is a higher rate of occupational accidents in the construction industry than most other industries on average. Construction accidents may result in numerous damages and losses. Workers compensation is an important source for evaluating costs associated with construction accidents. In this article, the applicable laws or regulations for occupational accident in Taiwan are examined at first. Accident reports during the period 1999 to 2011 are extracted from case reports of the Northern Region Inspection Office of the Council of Labor Affairs of Taiwan. The compensation in 574 cases of occupational accidents in the Construction Industry is then analyzed. The findings identified in this article provide a direction for more effective compensation strategies and injury prevention programs.
