Introduction

There are so many business organizations in the world. Different organizations have different rules and regulation for their employees.

These accidents are of different types. The kinds of accidents which take place in industries are different to the kinds of accidents which take place in mills. Similarly, the kind of accidents which take place in a multinational organization is different to the accidents which take place in a bar or club. In either of the cases of those employees who are affected by the accidents are taken care by the company. The company provides the complete medical treatment and also provides salary to the injured or affected individual. On the basis of different accidents different laws are also introduced over the passage of time. It is not easy to provide the medical aid to any employee without properly going through the details required by legislation, patient and the policies. All these things play a considerate role in the carrying out of the processes. There are many plans which can be executed in order to provide best of services to the individuals who are injured at the workplace. For women it's not easier to work either and they have to be taken care off as well (Working Mother Media, 2001).
