Understanding Your Rights Under Kenyan Labour Law & Compensation Statutes

In Kenya, employees injured or diagnosed with occupational diseases due to their work are protected by specific legal provisions. The primary legislation, the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) Act, 2013, and older statutes like the Workers' Compensation Act (Cap 236), outline the entitlements for injured workers. These typically include coverage for medical expenses, temporary or permanent disability benefits, and compensation for dependents in fatal cases. The Directorate of Occupational Safety and Health Services (DOSHS) plays a role in workplace safety enforcement, while the NSSF Board of Trustees manages the compensation fund. Understanding the interplay of these statutes, regulations, and the claims process is vital. Our online consultations provide expert insights into these legal frameworks, helping you identify the full scope of benefits you are entitled to.
