New platform to help the public understand their legal rights in work-injury scenarios
A new online resource based on Hong Kong's Employees' Compensation Ordinance is now available for public access.
The platform, known as the "Work Injury Occupation and Injury Compensation Database," aims to help the public understand their legal rights, claim procedures, and compensation options in work-related injury scenarios.
The database contains practical guidance from the ordinance's legal concepts, offering relevant case studies, medical treatment tips, and reference materials for compensation calculation.
It covers various occupations, including construction workers, cleaners, delivery riders, and office staff. It also covers common workplace injuries, such as falls, burns, back pain, and hearing loss.
