Employer liability insurance certificates: rules to change
After further investigation, it appears the amendments to the regulations also remove the requirement for employers' liability insurance certificates to be kept for 40 years, as the Government believes the cost of retaining insurance policies is a burden on business and the law is not effectively enforced by the HSE. The removal of the requirement to retain the policies has caused outrage amongst MPs and asb...

Employer liability insurance certificates: rules to change
...ic detection work sometimes necessary and the people who might have once said 'I remember them, weren't they a subsidiary of a UK subsidiary of a French Co who were then bought by a US co in the 1970's'? have by now long since left the insurance cos and brokers. OK there is help available to the employer from the BIA direct (brokers can't access it for you!) but sometimes that draws a blank and if you are now the owner of that company and there is reasonable proof that you did service the fleet in-house or once did drop-forging and even the MD was deaf so thought it was OK if all the workforce suff...

Employer liability insurance certificates: rules to change
Yes, o.k., but what about the forty years ? How many bosses remain the same bosses for forty years and, if they should give up business, or the business goes bust, who then shall "retain a copy of the certificate for forty years" ? Why not a central register, just as for car insurance and licensing ? The problem with politicians and (sadly) many civil servants is that they've never had the direct and personal experience of business that would enable sensible and practical law-making.
