Today, Boss Wu has compiled these cases for those in the industry to refer to. The new Work Safety Law stipulates that industries with high risks must purchase work safety liability insurance. Article 51 of the newly revised law states that production and business operations entities must participate in work-related injury insurance in accordance with the law and pay insurance premiums for their employees. **Production and business entities are encouraged to purchase work safety liability insurance ； Production and operation units in **designated high-risk industries and sectors shall purchase work safety liability insurance. The specific scope and implementation methods shall be formulated by the emergency management department of the State Council in conjunction with the finance department of the State Council, the insurance regulatory authority of the State Council, and the relevant industry authorities. Article 109: If production and operation entities in high-risk industries and fields fail to purchase work safety liability insurance in accordance with **provisions, they shall be ordered to make corrections within a specified time limit, and shall be fined not less than 50,000 yuan but not more than 100,000 yuan ； If the violation is not corrected by the deadline, a fine of not less than 100,000 yuan but not more than 200,000 yuan shall be imposed. (Note: Red text indicates the key changes in the newly revised Work Safety Law.) Work safety liability insurance refers to a type of commercial insurance in which an insurance company compensates for casualties and related economic losses resulting from work safety accidents occurring in the insured business entities, and also provides services to help such entities prevent work safety accidents. **Production and operation entities in designated high-risk industries and sectors: mines, transportation, hazardous chemicals, fireworks and firecrackers, construction, civil explosives, metal smelting, fishery production, etc. The above-mentioned production and business entities shall purchase work safety liability insurance for all their employees. Except in cases where they are legally shut down or banned, cease all production and business activities, or are dissolved, they shall not cancel the insurance or delay its renewal. Other industries and business entities are encouraged to purchase liability insurance. Work safety liability insurance should cover personal injuries and deaths of employees, as well as those of third parties and property losses; it should also cover expenses related to accident rescue, medical treatment, accident investigation, and legal proceedings. The liability limits for personal injuries and deaths of employees and third parties shall not be lower than the standards specified in the \"Implementation Measures for Work Safety Liability Insurance\". The premium for work-related liability insurance is to be paid by the production and operation entities, and must not be allocated to individual employees in any way.
