When it comes to workcover, the question "Do you accept liabilty?" basically means "Do you believe it actually happened?"

Unless it is a false make believe claim then you are liable.

Yes a worker could look you in the eye and laugh as he deliberately cuts one hand off with a Chainsaw despite all your rules and training and you are still liable.
