If you operate entirely as a sole trader or independent contractor with zero employees, standard compulsory workers' compensation insurance is generally not required because you do not have staff on a payroll. However, sole traders and working directors are not automatically covered for personal injuries under standard employer policies unless they proactively purchase specialized personal accident insurance, income protection cover, or voluntary workers' compensation arrangements tailored for self-employed individuals to secure financial protection if they cannot work due to injury.
