What is the purpose of the survivor benefit?

The purpose of the survivor benefit is to provide financial support to the families of employees who have died due to workplace injuries. This benefit ensures that dependents or loved ones of the deceased employee have some level of financial stability during a challenging and emotional time. It reflects the commitment to not only care for employees while they are working but also to look after their families in the unfortunate event of an untimely death resulting from job-related incidents.

In the context of workplace safety and compensation, survivor benefits are crucial as they recognize the sacrifices made by employees and provide essential support to their families, addressing their urgent needs for housing, food, and other essential expenses that may arise after the loss of a breadwinner. The other options focus on different aspects of workplace compensation and support, such as medical expenses, restoration of employment, and retraining aid, but do not directly relate to the family support aspect that is central to the purpose of survivor benefits.
