The Association d'assurance accident (AAA) is a public institution responsible for the prevention of and compensation for work-related accidents, commuting accidents and occupational diseases. Created by the legislator in 1901, the AAA is placed under the supervision of the Ministry of Social Security and is managed by a Board of Directors.
The AAA's most important departments, responsible for relations with employers and insured persons, are the Prevention Department and the Compensation Department.
The Prevention Department
The Prevention Department provides advice, training and awareness-raising to help companies develop a culture of prevention and meet their legal and regulatory obligations in terms of occupational health and safety. The AAA is also one of the initiators of the national VISION ZERO strategy, which calls for the promotion of occupational health and safety, with the aim of reducing the number and severity of work-related accidents, commuting accidents and occupational diseases in the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg.
The Compensation Department
The Compensation Department is responsible for case management and processing: investigation with a view to deciding whether a claim should be treated as a work-related accident, commuting accident or occupational disease, and compensation once the claim has been covered by accident insurance.
