At Tirtham Surgical Hospital on Science City Road, industrial accident surgery in Ahmedabad means 24×7 emergency care for workplace injuries wounds, crush and amputation wound care, burns and chemical injuries, and abdominal/internal trauma with rapid transfer of major or specialist injuries (head, spine, eye) to the right centre. We also help with the practical side workers need: ESIC / compensation documentation and return-to-work support. Dr. Alpesh Patel (MS) and team respond quickly and honestly. Below is a guide that starts where it matters most the first aid.
Workplace first aid the minutes that matter
If a colleague is injured, correct first aid before hospital can save a limb or a life. Get the essentials right.
| Injury | What to do immediately |
| Any serious injury | Call for emergency help; control heavy bleeding with firm direct pressure (don't remove a soaked cloth add layers); keep the person calm, still and warm |
| Crushed / severed limb (amputation) | Control bleeding; preserve the severed part: rinse gently with clean water, wrap in clean/sterile cloth, seal in a bag, then place that bag on ice — never directly on ice or in water; note the time; send the part with the patient (≈6-hour window for reattachment) |
| Chemical injury | Remove contaminated clothing; flush the area with plenty of clean water for 20+ minutes; don't try to "neutralise" it |
| Electrical injury | Switch off the power source first (never touch the person while they're in contact with live current); then check breathing and get help |
| Burns | Cool with running water; never ice/toothpaste/oil → Burn first aid |
Common industrial injuries and how they're treated
Industrial Injury Treatment Ahmedabad covers a range of workplace injuries. Here's what they are and how they're managed.
| Injury type | Treatment |
| Machinery / crush injuries | Relieve pressure, control bleeding, repair tissue; wound and (where needed) amputation care |
| Lacerations & deep cuts | Wound repair cleaning, closing, treating damaged tissue/vessels |
| Amputations (partial/complete) | Wound management, stump care, or preparation for a prosthesis → Amputation |
| Burns (fire/chemical/electrical) | Cooling, debridement, skin grafts → Burn surgeries |
| Internal (abdominal/chest) injuries | Emergency assessment and surgery for internal bleeding/organ damage → Abdominal trauma |
| Fractures | Stabilisation; referral to orthopaedics for fixation as needed |
An Industrial Accident Surgeon Ahmedabad provides prompt surgical care for the injuries within general/emergency-surgery scope, and coordinates specialist care for the rest.
What needs a specialist or trauma centre
Being honest protects the worker: head injury (needs neurosurgery), spinal injury, eye injury (needs ophthalmology), and complex orthopaedic or multi-system polytrauma are best managed with the relevant specialists or at a designated trauma centre. For these, we stabilise first and transfer rapidly to the right facility because that's what those injuries need → Trauma surgery.
The compensation & return-to-work side
This is the part that's uniquely important after a workplace injury and often the most confusing for workers. Proper medical care goes hand in hand with proper paperwork.
| Practical need | How it works |
| ESIC (Employees' State Insurance) | Covers medical care and cash benefits for insured workers treatment can be linked to ESIC where applicable |
| Employees'/Workmen's Compensation | Wage replacement and disability benefits for work injuries (an alternative to ESIC not both) |
| Documentation for a claim | Requires medical records of the injury (which we provide), and usually a police report and employment proof the employer typically files |
| Return to work / rehabilitation | Physiotherapy, rehabilitation and, after amputation, prosthetic and vocational support to get back to work |
We provide the clear medical documentation injured workers need for their ESIC or compensation claim, and support the recovery-to-return-to-work journey practical help that matters as much as the surgery.
Recovery and rehabilitation
Recovery from a work injury goes beyond the operation. Depending on the injury it can involve further surgery, wound and fracture care, physiotherapy and rehabilitation to rebuild strength and function, reconstruction for wounds/scars/tissue loss → Reconstructive surgery, and after an amputation prosthetic fitting and vocational rehabilitation to return to work. The aim is not just healing the injury but restoring the worker's ability to earn a living. Support through the emotional impact of a serious work injury matters too.
What industrial injury treatment costs in Ahmedabad
Cost depends entirely on the injury and the surgery/care needed and, importantly, work injuries are often covered by ESIC or Workmen's Compensation (or personal mediclaim), so many workers pay little or nothing directly. In an emergency, care comes first: we treat, then help you navigate the coverage and provide the documentation your claim needs. Cashless mediclaim is available where applicable, and the Tirtham Health Card applies to consultations and follow-up. Please never delay emergency care over cost, call us or reach the nearest facility immediately.

Frequently asked questions
What industrial injuries does Tirtham treat?+
Tirtham provides 24×7 emergency care and surgery for workplace injuries within general/emergency-surgery scope — wounds and lacerations, crush and amputation wound care, burns and chemical injuries, and abdominal/internal trauma. Head injury (neurosurgery), spinal injury, eye injury (ophthalmology) and complex multi-system or orthopaedic trauma are stabilised and referred to the relevant specialist or a designated trauma centre.
How do I preserve a severed body part after an amputation injury?+
Control the bleeding first with firm pressure. Then gently rinse the severed part with clean water (don't scrub), wrap it in clean or sterile cloth, seal it in a plastic bag, and place that bag on ice — never put the part directly on ice or in water, which damages it. Note the time of injury and send the part with the patient; there's roughly a 6-hour window for possible reattachment.
What first aid should I give for a chemical or electrical injury at work?+
For a chemical injury, remove contaminated clothing and flush the area with plenty of clean water for at least 20 minutes; don't try to neutralise the chemical. For an electrical injury, switch off the power source before touching the person (never touch someone in contact with live current), then check their breathing, control any bleeding, and get emergency help. Both need prompt medical assessment.
Do you help with ESIC or Workmen's Compensation documentation?+
Yes. Work injuries are often covered by ESIC (Employees' State Insurance) or the Employees'/Workmen's Compensation Act, and claims require proper medical documentation of the injury. We provide the clear medical records needed to support your claim (a police report and employment proof are usually also required, typically filed by the employer), so the treatment and the paperwork go together.
When does a work injury need a specialist or trauma centre?+
Head injury (neurosurgery), spinal injury, eye injury (ophthalmology), and complex orthopaedic or multi-system polytrauma need the relevant specialists or a designated trauma centre with those resources and intensive care. We stabilise such injuries first and transfer rapidly, because getting the worker to the right specialists quickly gives the best outcome — over-reaching would only cost time.
What is recovery and return to work like?+
Recovery depends on the injury and can involve further surgery, wound/fracture care, physiotherapy and rehabilitation, reconstruction for wounds or scars, and — after an amputation — prosthetic fitting and vocational rehabilitation. The goal is to restore function and get the worker back to earning. We support the whole journey, not just the operation, including the documentation for any compensation or rehabilitation benefits.
What does industrial injury treatment cost, and is it covered?+
Cost depends entirely on the injury and surgery needed, but work injuries are often covered by ESIC or Workmen's Compensation (or personal mediclaim), so many workers pay little directly. In an emergency we treat first and then help you navigate coverage and provide claim documentation. Please never delay emergency care over cost concerns.
