The Act was last amended in 1991. Public Liability Insurance Act 1991 was enacted with an objective to provide for the damages suffered by the victims as a result of an accident occurring by the handling of a hazardous substance. The Act applies to all owners associated with the production or handling of any hazardous chemicals.
