Ammon News - Social Security Corporation (SSC) received 13,465 work-related injuries during 2022, according to director of its Occupational Safety and Workplace Injuries Department, Nasha't Badawi.

Value of the workplace injuries amounted to about JD11, 796 million, which included daily allowances, medical care expenses, and one-off compensation for the injury disability, which is less than 30%, he added.

In a statement to "Petra" on Saturday, he noted majority of on-the-job injuries took place in the manufacturing industries, health and social work sectors.

SSC, he noted, accredited 41 medical treatment facilities (hospitals), taking into account their geographical distribution to cover the Kingdom's various governorates, primarily all Royal Medical Services hospitals, and majority of private hospitals, aimed to providing "distinguished" service to the injured workers, who benefit from the corporation's insurance umbrella.

According to the corporation, the establishment must transfer the injured worker to the nearest SSC-accredited hospital if a work injury occurs to a SCC services beneficiary.
