Employer liability for compensation applies when workplace accidents or listed occupational diseases arise out of and in the course of employment. Employer liability arises when an employee suffers injury by accident or contracts a Third Schedule occupational disease arising out of and in the course of employment, with exclusions for injuries not causing disablement beyond three days and for non-fatal injuries directly caused by intoxication, wilful disobedience of safety orders, or deliberate removal or disregard of safety devices. Acts in contravention of law or instructions do not automatically defeat liability if they would otherwise be within the scope of employment and are connected to the employer's trade or business.
