The Employers' Liability (Compulsory Insurance) Regulations 1998 consolidate, with amendments, the Employers' Liability (Compulsory Insurance) General Regulations 1971 and subsequent amending regulations made under the Employers' Liability (Compulsory Insurance) Act 1969. Employers’ liability insurance is supposed to enable employers to meet the cost of compensation for their employees’ injuries or illness whether they are caused on or off site.
