Tekmart Africa COIDA Certificate

The COIDA provides a system of no-fault compensation for employees injured or who contract diseases during the course of their employment.

The Compensation for Occupational Injuries and Diseases Act (COIDA) established a compensation fund, under the control of the DirectorGeneral of the Department of Employment and Labour. In practice, the Director-General delegates his or her functions to the Compensation Commissioner. Any compensation claimed for occupational injuries or diseases that an employee might have had against an employer is replaced by insurance coverage, in order to guarantee reasonable remuneration or income for employees who have suffered a workplace injury or occupational disease. COIDA provides for coverage on a no-fault basis, meaning that the employee (or his or her dependant) will be compensated regardless, of whether the employer was at fault in causing the injury or disease. Employers are expected to register and pay assessments to the Compensation Fund.

“No-fault compensation” is a legal rule that an aggrieved party is entitled to compensation without having to prove any other party was at fault for the accident.
