PROGRAM RAWATAN BENCANA KERJA (RBK)

 

What is RBK?

  • RBK is a facility provided by PERKESO (SOCSO) that allows contributors who suffer workplace accidents to receive medical treatment without paying upfront at PERKESO panel clinics.
  • The programme is part of the Employment Injury Scheme under the Employees’ Social Security Act 1969 (Act 4), which covers work-related accidents and occupational diseases.

 

Who is Eligible?

  • Active PERKESO contributors under the Employment Injury Scheme (Skim Bencana Pekerjaan).
  • Those who experience an accident at work or while performing official duties, and the incident is officially recognised as a “work disaster” by PERKESO.
  • RBK specifically applies to workplace accidents only — not all types of injuries or illnesses.

 

What is Covered?

  • Emergency treatment at PERKESO’s registered panel clinics, including clinical consultations, check-ups, Xrays, and transfers to hospitals (if required).
  • The service is cashless — contributors do not need to pay upfront at PERKESO panel clinics.
  • Digital access is available through the SEHATi application, where contributors can check eligibility, find panel clinics, and make appointments.

 

How to Use RBK?

For Employees / Contributors

  • When a workplace accident occurs (make sure it qualifies as a “work disaster”).
  • Check your eligibility and locate nearby panel clinics via the SEHATi app or PERKESO’s system.
  • Go directly to a PERKESO panel clinic — no payment is needed (if you go to a non-panel clinic,reimbursement claims may apply).

For Employers

  • Employers are encouraged to report accidents promptly and refer affected employees to panel clinics immediately to ensure smooth claim and treatment processes.

 

Important Notes & Limitations!

  • If the accident is not classified as a “work disaster” (e.g., occurred outside of working hours or during nonwork activities), it will not be eligible under RBK.
  • The employee must be registered and contributing under the Employment Injury Scheme.
  • While most basic treatments are covered, certain procedures may have specific limits or conditions depending on the type of injury, location, and clinic policy.
