The decision, which entitles his family to compensation, has captivated mainland social media.
According to the country’s Industrial Injury Insurance Rule, which governs the circumstances of injuries and deaths on the job, a situation in which an employee suddenly dies at his post during working hours should be categorised as an industrial accident.
Such an employee or his family can receive insurance compensation from his employer and the social security authorities.
The 60-something man, surnamed Zhang, was the sole security guard at a small factory in Beijing before his death.
He was required to work around the clock with no days off, the Southern Metropolis News reported in early May.
