Can't seem to find an English equivalent for this pretty popular French term. I don't have much context, as it is only mentioned in passing, in a text about other European Works Council matters:
la négociation européenne sur la prévoyance lourde.

death and disability insurance
Stay away from "life insurance", which is overly broad (i.e., not wrong, but possibly misleading) for a pure death benefit.
You could expand "disability" to "incapacity and invalidity" but generally disability is understood to include both.
ref: "régime de prévoyance lourde (incapacité, invalidité, décès)" Find it with your favourite search engine.

The usual way to put it in English, as in ADDI (for accidental death during employment).
