It happened that the power workshop in the company was installing a new piece of equipment, and seeing that the people there were busy, Ma volunteered to help with the setup. During a work task involving working at height, the person fell from a platform 3 meters high, resulting in a severe fracture of the waist. During the treatment period, it was determined that the injury constituted a grade 9 disability. Can Ma’s situation be classified as a work-related injury?
In Ma’s case, the injury occurred at the \"workplace\" and \"outside working hours\", and on a superficial level, it should not be considered an occupational injury. But he was injured in an accident at the workplace due to work-related reasons, and it can be recognized as a work-related injury under laws or administrative regulations.
It should be recognized as an occupational injury; although it occurred outside working hours, the injury was sustained while performing job duties at the workplace, so it should be classified as an occupational injury.
It should be classified as an occupational injury: the injury occurred at the workplace, and the task being performed was related to work, so it should be considered an occupational injury.
