Which situation would NOT be classified as an injury arising out of and in the course of employment?

In the context of workers' compensation and the criteria for injuries arising out of and in the course of employment, the situation where an employee is injured during a lunch break in the parking lot does not typically meet the necessary conditions.

Generally, injuries that occur during work hours and while an employee is engaged in job-related activities are covered. Situations such as lifting a box, being injured at a workstation, or experiencing an injury during training directly involve tasks or responsibilities that are part of the employment duties. They are closely tied to the work being performed and therefore are classified as injuries arising out of and in the course of employment.

However, during a lunch break, particularly if it occurs outside of the workplace (like in a parking lot), the employee is often considered to be off-duty and not engaged in work-related activities. As a result, injuries sustained during such a break typically do not qualify for workers' compensation coverage, as they do not arise out of or in the course of employment.
