However, the proviso to Section 3(1) lists exceptions where the employer is *not* liable. Clause (b)(iii) of this proviso states that the employer shall not be liable in respect of any injury, not resulting in death or permanent total disablement, caused by an accident which is directly attributable to the wilful disobedience of the employee to an order expressly given for the purpose of securing the safety of the employee.
