Section 83

At every place of employment the employer shall provide for all workmen such medical attention and treatment with medicines of good quality, first-aid equipment and appliances for the transportation of sick or injured workmen.

Employment 60

Every employer shall take or cause to be taken, for treatment as soon as possible every workman injured or falling ill during the course of his employment and every resident workman and resident dependant on a place of employment requiring medical attention at a hospital or dispensary to the hospital or dispensary maintained for the workmen at such place of employment or, if there is no such hospital or dispensary, to the nearest hospital or dispensary maintained by the Government or approved by the

Commissioner and shall also provide any treatment necessary therefor.

The cost of maintenance and treatment of a workman and of his dependants residing on the place of employment in or at any hospital or dispensary to which the workman or his dependant is sent by the employer shall be borne or paid by the employer as long as the workman remains in his employment:

Provided that if the employer continues to pay to the workman salary or part salary amounting to not less than half his usual salary, he may recover by deduction from the salary of such workman the cost of such maintenance in hospital.

Where any such workman or dependant has been admitted to a

Government hospital or dispensary, the cost of maintenance and treatment and, in the event of the death of such workman or dependant in such hospital, any reasonable burial expenses incurred, shall be recoverable from the employer at the suit of the medical practitioner in charge.
