Accidents happen, but are you protected?

All businesses would like to think their workers are safe, but sometimes things happen that are beyond control and these may well endanger their employees.

Incidents can be caused by a wide variety of things such as poor management or irresponsible working but it's important to ensure that correct insurance is in place to protect the business against situations resulting in injury to workers.

Anyone who employs people in the UK are responsible for employees safety while they are at work, if they are hurt during this time they are well within their rights to claim compensation if they believe their employer was responsible.

The Employers Liability (Compulsory Insurance) Act 1969 makes it a legal requirement that everyone with employees has insurance to cover against these types of cases, it is often provided in conjunction with public liability insurance.

Failing to arrange Insurance cover when it is required by law can result in a fine.
