and vehicles are considered as a part of the workplace. Accordingly, if
the employee is injured while at one of these places, it would also be

Work injuries occurring during the conduct of work if the insured
party is working independently in his or her own name and
account because of the work conducted by the employer
The important issue herein under is the occurrence of the injury due

suffered by an employee while he was making electrical repairs at a client’s
house would be considered a work injury.
3.
Work injuries occurring during the time the employee was
not conducting essential work if the insured party is working
committed to an employer and is sent somewhere other than his
or her own workplace
The employer may occasionally send the insured parties to some other
places for work. In this case, the insured party is still under the authority
of the employer. Therefore, any injuries occurring during this time period
would also be considered as work injuries.
If the insured party is injured while performing his or her work, the
paragraph b herein above would be applicable. On the other hand, if
the injury has happened during the spare time of the insured party, the
paragraph c would be applicable. The general aim of the jurisprudence

when he was chatting with his friends, this event was considered a work
accident.
