The National Insurance (Industrial Injuries) Act 1946 (9 & 10 Geo.

6. c. 62) was a British Act of Parliament which provided compensation paid by the Ministry of National Insurance to workers who were left injured or disabled as a result of work-related accidents.

[1] The Act was universal, in the sense that it covered the entire workforce.

Tribunals were set up to assess cases rather than the burden of proving a case resting on the claimant, although claims still remained hard to prove.
