Do you apply for work-related injury identification by yourself or by the company?

Do you apply for work-related injury identification by yourself or by the company?

The work-related injury identification can be applied by the employee himself or by the company.

First, employees apply by themselves.

After an employee's work-related injury accident occurs, he/she may apply to the local labor and social security administrative department for work-related injury identification. Relevant supporting materials, such as medical diagnosis certificate and accident report, need to be provided when applying. Employees can apply by phone, email and online application.

Second, the company application

If the company believes that employees meet the conditions for work-related injury identification, it can also apply to the local labor and social security administrative department for work-related injury identification. When applying, you need to provide the employee's identity certificate, labor contract, accident report and other relevant certification materials. The company shall apply for work-related injury identification within 30 days from the date of the accident.

To sum up:

The work-related injury identification can be applied by the employee himself or by the company. Employees or companies fail to apply for work-related injury identification within the specified time, which may affect the results of work-related injury identification. Therefore, it is suggested that employees and companies should apply to the administrative department of labor and social security for work-related injury identification in time after a work-related injury accident.

Legal basis:

Article 17 of the Regulations on Industrial Injury Insurance in People's Republic of China (PRC) stipulates: "If an employee suffers from an accident injury or is diagnosed and identified as an occupational disease according to the provisions of the Law on the Prevention and Control of Occupational Diseases, the unit to which he belongs shall, within 30 days from the date of the accident injury or the date of diagnosis and identification as an occupational disease, apply to the social insurance administrative department in the overall planning area for industrial injury identification. Under special circumstances, with the consent of the social insurance administrative department, the application time limit may be appropriately extended. "
