LEGAL CONCEPT OF AGRICULTURAL ACCIDENT AT WORK

Journal Title: Annuals of the Administration and Law - Year 2014, Vol 0, Issue 0

Abstract

The article discusses the scope of legal protection of farmers and other people covered by social insurance under the Act on social insurance for farmers of 20 December 1990 who were injured as a result of agricultural accidents at work. The concept of occupational disease in agriculture has been defined in a quite restrictive manner, thus significantly limiting the scope of legal protection to which the farmers injured as a result of agricultural accidents at work are entitled. Therefore, de lege ferenda postulates should be proposed within the scope of accidents which took place at the premises of a farm and household connected to it, return to previously existing requirement of the accident’s place of occurrence and assume that the time and place relation or functional relation is sufficient to qualify a given accident as agricultural accident at work. Whereas, examination of cause and effect relations would be necessary in case of occurrence of an accident while performing activities connected with operating agricultural business or in connection with performance of these activities outside the premises of the farm. It would allow to incorporate to the scope agricultural accidents at work concept a significant part of the accidents which currently are not recognized as agricultural accidents at work and are not covered by legal protection of the farmers’ social insurance system.
