First instance of social insurance for any blue-collar worker segment as defined in labor_workinjury_firstins. It must be mandatory that employees get private or associational firm insurance policies, or the government itself is the insurer. The key difference in social insurance as a form of risk-pooling is that fault is no longer on the burden of the employee. The employee is automatically entitled to accident compensation unless otherwise disproven by the insurer or other interested party - this shifts fault away from the employee by default.
