What Is Workmen Compensation Insurance?
Workmen compensation insurance covers an employer's legal liability under the Employees' Compensation Act for death or injury to employees arising out of and in the course of employment, including specified occupational diseases.
The policy pays compensation as determined under the Act, along with legal costs, and can be extended to cover medical expenses and workers engaged through contractors.
It is particularly important for manufacturing units, construction sites, warehouses and other businesses with physical work, and is often a contractual requirement for contractors and project sites.
