Abstract

The industrial revolution brought progress to society, but indirectly led to a high number of work-related accidents. Data from ILO stated nearly 2.3 million people died per year worldwide due to work-related accidents/diseases. In case of workplace accidents, forensic doctors have a very important role to help law enforcement and justice in the form of Visum et Repertum on an expert statement. Problems: Deaths due to work accidents rarely undergo an autopsy process, thus the cause of death cannot be determined. In some cases, rejection of autopsy could be polemic, especially when the corpse was buried. Research methods: This study used work accident case review method which consisted of single units, but it was deeply analyzed through forensic and legal aspects. Discussion: Death due to workplace accident is unnatural death, usually caused by negligence, but it can be categorized as a criminal act. Conclusion: The perperator violates Criminal Code Article 359 and Article 361 regarding negligence in work. Meanwhile, the victim’s heirs are entitled to compensation for death in accordance with Government Regulation No. 44/2015 on Implementation of Work Accident and Death Security Programs.
