The Employers' Liability Insurance Act 1969

The Employers' Liability Insurance Act 1969 requires certain employers to have insurance coverage to protect their employees against work-related injuries or illnesses. It ensures that workers can receive compensation if they are harmed due to their employer's negligence or failure to maintain safe working conditions. The act applies mainly to government departments and a few specified public sector organizations. Its goal is to provide financial security for employees while clarifying the employer’s legal obligation to insure against liabilities arising from work-related accidents or health issues.
