ELTO - Employers Liability Tracing Office

ELTO is an idendependent body whose members are Employers'
Liability Insurers.  ELTO will implement a centralised database
(ELD) with effect from the 1st April 2011.  The database will
contain all new and renewed EL policies, old EL policies which
have claims against them & all successful traces from the current
Tracing Office.  The aim of ELTO is to assist persons who have
suffered injury or disease in the workplace to identify the relevant
insurer quickly & efficiently. 

All members (EL Insurers) will be required to supply policy data
to the ELD and as a result they will need to obtain 2 new pieces
of information from all policyholders:

  • Employer's Reference Numbers (commonly referred to as Employer PAYE Reference)
  • A full & complete list of all subsidiary companies of the policyholder

The supply of this information will become compulsory from April 2012,
for further information see the ELTO website: http://www.elto.org.uk
