I’m drafting a somewhat official document, and I can’t quite think of the right word here:
All employees are covered under an occupational hazard insurance, which would cover any liabilities arising from A, B, or C.
The sentence sounds kind of awkward because cover is used twice. Is there a more appropriate word I can use instead of the second cover, something like mitigate? (I know mitigate wouldn’t be appropriate, just an example)
Answer
If you want to change the second cover, I suggest the following:
All employees are covered under an occupational hazard insurance, which would apply to any liabilities arising from A, B, or C.
However, I can’t speak to any required legal terminology.
As another note, I find the use of would to be strange—even in the original version. Surely it’s true that it does (cover or apply to) A, B, or C. Not just that it would.
In that sense, I suggest a further change beyond the original scope of your question:
All employees are covered under an occupational hazard insurance, which applies to any liabilities arising from A, B, or C.
