OAR 436-035-0440
Integument and Lacrimal System
(1)
If the worker has developed an immunologic reaction to physical, chemical or biological agents, impairment will also be valued under OAR 436-035-0450 (Immune System).(2)
Impairments of the integumentary system may or may not show signs or symptoms of skin disorder upon examination but are rated under the following classes:(a)
Class 1: 3% when with treatment, there is no limitation, or minimal limitation, in the performance of work related activities, although exposure to certain physical or chemical agents might increase limitation temporarily.(b)
Class 2: 15% when intermittent treatment is required and there is mild limitation in the performance of some work related activities.(c)
Class 3: 38% when continuous treatment is required and there is moderate limitation in the performance of many work related activities.(d)
Class 4: 68% when continuous treatment is required, which may include periodic confinement at home or other domicile; and there is moderate to severe limitation in the performance of many work related activities.(e)
Class 5: 90% when continuous treatment is required, which necessitates confinement at home or other domicile; and there is severe limitation in the performance of work related activities.(3)
If either too little or too much tearing results in a worker’s being restricted from regular work, and the condition is not an immunological reaction, a value is assigned as follows:(a)
Class 1: 3% when the reaction is a nuisance but does not prevent most regular work-related activities; or(b)
Class 2: 8% when the reaction prevents some regular work-related activities; or(c)
Class 3: 13% when the reaction prevents most regular work-related activities.
