The realization of the right to compesation for occupational accidents in Lesotho
(National University of Lesotho, 2025-06) Letsie, Nthabiseng Claudia
Occupational accidents constitute a persistent global concern, as they often lead to injuries, fatalities, loss of production, or damage to property and assets.1 While numerous theoretical models have been proposed to explain the underlying causes of such occurrences, the complexity and unpredictability of such incidents have precluded the adoption of a universally accepted framework.2 So over decades, researchers have proposed various theories from early probabilistic models to more complex systems approaches to explain why accidents occur and how they may be prevented.3 Despite these extensive efforts, no single theory has gained universal acceptance, which demonstrates the inherent unpredictability and multifaceted nature of workplace accidents.4This essentially means that accidents are inherently unpredictable and can have serious consequences, including injuries, fatalities, loss of productivity, and property damage. This unpredictability adds a layer of complexity to workplace safety and compensation systems.
