What section of a Workers' Compensation policy applies when an employee is injured while traveling for work?

Part 1 of a Workers' Compensation policy is fundamentally designed to provide coverage for employees when they are injured while performing their job duties, which includes situations where an employee is traveling for work. This aspect of the policy ensures that benefits are available regardless of the employee's location at the time of the injury, as long as the work-related criteria are met.

In the context of work travel, it allows coverage as long as the travel is a necessary part of the employee’s work responsibilities. Consequently, if an employee suffers an injury while traveling for work purposes, coverage under Part 1 would apply.

The other options have specific scopes and limitations that do not necessarily apply to the standard coverage for employees traveling for work. For instance, Part 3 deals with specific types of benefits, including occupational disease and conditions, while Part 2 may address coverage in relation to public transportation but doesn't broadly cover all travel-related injuries. Part 4 might pertain to other aspects of Workers' Compensation policies, but does not directly address the scenario described in the question. Hence, the emphasis remains on Part 1 as the section that universally encompasses work-related injuries, including those resulting from travel for work.
