• These accident insurance institutions have the same tasks as professional associations and insure their employees in the health service, Administration, construction, transport and communications, agriculture, horticulture and forestry and in disposal, cleaning and Utilities. Employees in cultural institutions such as theaters, operas and museums are also insured with the accident insurance funds.
