Work-related injuries and the relevant compensations
Most of the matters that relate to work-related injuries and their respective forms of compensation are governed by the Employees' Compensation Ordinance (Cap. 282 of the Laws of Hong Kong) ("the ECO").
The ECO applies to all full-time or part-time employees who are employed under contracts of employment or apprenticeship, which include all categories of employees who have been impacted by the fire incident, such as domestic helpers working within residential units, personnel engaged in building management, building security, or building cleaning; and construction workers employed at the fire-affected site.
Employers are liable to pay compensation for injuries that are sustained by their employees as a result of accidents that arise out of and in the course of employment.
