Depending on the circumstances of the condition it can legally either be regarded as an occupational accident or as an occupational disease. If the accident insurance is the responsible social insurance body, which will particularly be the case if e.g. beekeepers, farmers, forest workers, bakery vendors suffer from severe Hymenoptera-sting allergy, the immediate treatment as well as the long-term treatment (e.g. specific immunotherapy) and - if applicable - compensation has to be provided according to the German law (Sozialgesetzbuch VII (State Insurance Code 7), Berufskrankheitenverordnung (Decree on Occupational Diseases)) by the statutory accident insurance. © 2012 Dustri-Verlag Dr. Karl Feistle. |
