The policy covers employees and directors against personal injury or death arising out of accident. The cover is on 24 hours basis, which means that the cover continues even after office hours. However cover can be granted for occupational injuries only on request. There are four categories of benefits under this policy.
- Death occurring within twelve months from the day of the accident
- Personal Total Disablement occurring within twelve months from the day of the accident
- Temporary Total Disablement (weekly benefit) up to four weeks.

The following points should be borne in mind when selecting the benefits under this class of insurance.
- You can select the benefits stated above in any combination but (a) and (b) must be selected together.
- You cannot select (c) alone.
- If you require insurance for multiples or proportions of annual earnings, the sum insured or benefits to be insured under Temporary Total Disablement should not exceed the actual weekly salary/wages.
