The law "On compulsory insurance of disability of individuals from accidents and occupational diseases in industry" was promulgated on 16 December 2010 after the adoption of the relevant legal acts.
According to the tariffs of the Cabinet of Azerbaijan, all economic activities are divided into 14 levels of risk on the basis of which the size of the insurance rate for employees and workers in the enterprise is determined (from 0.2% to 2%, depending on the level of professional risk).
Under the law, an insurance rate is calculated against the backdrop of the salaries in the enterprise. The law provides for three types of insurance payments: monthly, one-time and extra. --17D-
