GOSI Occupational Hazards: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how workers in Saudi Arabia can access medical treatment and disability compensation if they are injured while on the job.
This scheme provides support and medical care for workers who suffer an injury while performing their job duties.
Who it's for
This is for workers who sustain an injury specifically while they are on the job.
What you get
If you qualify, you are entitled to medical treatment to help you recover. You may also receive disability compensation if the injury results in a long-term impairment.
What it costs you
There is no direct cost to the worker. However, for the claim to proceed, your employer must report the injury immediately to the relevant authorities.
The catch to know
The most important requirement is that the injury must be officially classified as "work-related" to be covered under this scheme.
How to apply
- Ensure your injury is reported by your employer as soon as it happens.
- Verify that the incident is documented as occurring during work hours or while performing work duties.
- Follow the instructions provided by your employer or the social insurance body regarding medical documentation.
