Can a Suicide Attempt Be Considered a Workplace Accident?

By default, a suicide attempt is not recognized as a workplace accident due to its intentional nature and lack of an external cause.

General Principle

In principle, a suicide attempt cannot be classified as a workplace accident. The fundamental reason is the absence of an external cause triggering the event.

Key Legal Factors

The action itself is characterized as intentional and conscious, which inherently conflicts with the requirements for defining an accident under workplace safety regulations.
