Occupational Hazards Branch: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn how to access medical care, daily allowances, and disability compensation if you are injured while working or commuting.
This scheme provides support and protection for workers who suffer injuries while performing their jobs or while traveling to and from their workplace.
Who it's for
This is for employees who experience an injury during their working hours or while commuting to or from their place of employment.
What you get
If you are covered, you can access medical care to treat your injury. You may also receive a daily allowance while you are unable to work due to the injury, and you can receive compensation if the injury results in a disability.
What it costs you
There is no direct cost to you for this coverage, as it is paid for through your employer's contributions.
The catch to know
Timing is critical. You must report your injury to your employer immediately to ensure the incident is properly documented and your claim is valid.
How to apply
- Notify your employer about the injury as soon as it happens.
- Follow your employer's internal procedures for reporting workplace accidents.
- Ensure your employer submits the necessary documentation through the official system.
- Monitor your status via the official portal: https://www.gosi.gov.sa
