Scope of accident insurance. The insurance applies during travel within Iceland and abroad if undertaken on behalf of the employer. The insurance applies to accidents occurring during sports activities, competitions and games, provided that such events are organised by the employer or the staff association and the employee is expected to participate in such events as a part of the employee’s work. In this respect, it does not matter whether or not the accident occurs during normal working hours. Exempted are accidents that occur in boxing, any form of wrestling, driving sports, hang-gliding, sailplaning, parachuting, bungee- jumping, mountain climbing that requires special equipment, cliff rappelling, scuba diving and parachuting. The insurance does not pay compensation for accidents resulting from the use of motorised vehicles subject to registration in Iceland and which are covered by legally prescribed vehicle insurance, irrespective of whether covered by third-party insurance or by the driver’s and owner’s accident insurance under the Traffic Act. The insurance shall take effect with respect to the employee when he begins working for the employer (is added to the payroll roster) and expires when employment is terminated.

Scope of accident insurance. The insurance shall cover travel, both in Iceland and outside the country, which is undertaken in the service of the employer. The insurance shall cover accidents that occur in sports, competitions and games providing that these have been held under the auspices of the employer or the employees’ association, and participation in such activities is expected as part of the employees’ work. In this context, it shall make no difference whether the accident takes place during or outside normal working time. Exceptions from this rule shall be accidents resulting from boxing, wrestling of all types, motor sports, hang-gliding, gliding, bungee jumping, mountain climbing which requires special equipment, abseiling, diving with a diving suit and parachuting.

The insurance shall become valid vis-à-vis the employee when he starts work for the employer (is registered on the payroll) and shall expire when he leaves employment.
