This insurance covers liability for employee injury, disability, or death during contract performance. The document outlines the specifics of the 52.228-3 clause, which mandates that contractors establish compensation provisions, report injuries promptly, adhere to compensation timelines, and provide medical benefits, all in compliance with the Longshore and Harbor Workers' Compensation Act as extended by the DBA. Furthermore, it advises contractors to consult specific brokers for obtaining DBA insurance. Key contacts for insurance brokers are provided for assistance. Overall, this guidance aims to ensure compliance with new insurance requirements and protect worker rights on government contracts.
