They're not exempt from being sued for negligence*, they just don't have to comply with "safety in the workplace"-type laws. (I doubt Her Majesty's bedroom has a luminous green "FIRE EXIT" sign over the door, for instance.)

*Except the Queen personally, obviously, so Her Majesty's free to leave lying around all the boiling acid she likes, though I suspect she wouldn't appreciate her corgis being called "rabid".
