Employers liability insurance in Corby
Corby grew from steel and today is one of the East Midlands' major distribution and manufacturing centres — a logistics hub with a manufacturing base and a retail role — and employers' liability follows that workforce. EL answers when an employee is injured or made ill by their work, and in Corby the claims come off the distribution floor and the plant.
Where employers' liability claims come from in Corby
Logistics and distribution operators carry manual-handling, forklift and lifting exposure across large sites. The manufacturing base — including its surviving steel and tube production — brings machinery, hot-work and heavy-handling risk. Retail adds lifting and slip claims. The employer answers for each.
A Corby example
A worker at a Corby steel-tube manufacturer suffers a serious injury when a hand is caught in the moving parts of a forming machine that had not been fully guarded. Employers' liability covers the compensation and the legal defence — the machinery exposure that metal-forming carries at the point of operation.
What employers' liability covers
When work leaves an employee injured or ill, employers' liability pays their compensation and funds the defence, extending to former staff and to conditions that build over years of the work. A legal duty since 1969, it carries a £5m statutory minimum and a £10m market standard, the certificate available on inspection.
