Employers' Liability (Compulsory Insurance) Act 1969

The Employers' Liability (Compulsory Insurance) Act 1969 is a UK law that requires employers to have insurance to cover claims made by employees injured or made ill at work. This insurance protects workers by ensuring they can receive compensation if they suffer harm due to their employer's negligence. The law helps promote safer working conditions and guarantees that employees have financial protection, as employers must provide proof of this insurance to the government and employees. Essentially, it ensures that workers are supported if they face work-related injuries.
