RISKS OF WORK Decree 659/96 Approve the Labor Incapacity Assessment Table.

Bs. As., 24/6/96

VISTO Law No. 24.557, Resolutions M.T. and S.S. No. 341 dated 11 October 1995 and 423 dated 13 November 1995, the Act of the PERMANENT CONSULTIVE COMMITTEE No. 6 of 20 February 1996, the Award of the Minister of Labour and Social Security of the Nation No. 179 of 1 March 1996 and

CONSIDERING:

That the PERMANENT CONSULTIVE COMMITTEE created by article 40 of the LAW ON RISKS OF WORK and constituted by M.T. and S.S. Resolutions. No. 341/95 and 423/95 was convened on 20 February 1996 in order to issue opinions on the Labour Incapacity Assessment Table provided for in article 8, paragraph 3 of the above-mentioned Act.

That the governmental representation in the PERMANENT CONSULTIVE COMMITTEE presented a Table of Labour Incapacities with the application of weighting factors, among which the possibilities of job relocation and the age of the worker are considered the type of activity.

That the said taba or baremo is the result of a deep technical study in which they have participated, in previous stages, representatives of the organizations of employers and workers.

That the NATIONAL ADMINISTRATION OF SOCIAL SECURITY (ANSeS) 1994, the Evaluation Table for Permanent Labour Incapacities of the PANAMERICAN SALISTATION 1995 and the Standards for the Evaluation and Quantification of the Grade of Invalidities of the PUBLIC OF ENVIRONMENTS, 1994 have been considered for its preparation.

It should also be noted that this Labor Incapacity Assessment Table has been discussed and agreed within the scope of the PERMANENT CONSULTIVE COMMITTEE of the RISK OF WORK, having received the valuable contribution of the technicians of the parties represented in that Committee.

That government and trade union representations have given wide agreement to the Labor Incapacity Assessment Table presented to the PERMANENT CONSULTIVE COMMITTEE of the Law on RISKS OF WORK, therefore voting for its approval.

That the three members of the business representation voted favourably, making a reservation with regard to the weighting factors, while the representative of UNION INDUSTRIAL ARGENTINA abstained, objecting to the percentage incidence that could cause such factors.

That, however, abstention could be interpreted as a passive consent, in the face of reservations raised by the business sector, the mechanism provided for in article 40, paragraph 3, of the Law on RISKS OF WORK was used.

That, therefore, the Minister of Labour and Social Security, in his capacity as Chairman of the PERMANENT CONSULTIVE COMMITTEE created by Law No. 24.557, favourably commended the approval of the Labor Incapacity Assessment Table.

That the awards or opinions emanating from the PERMANENT CONSULTIVE COMMITTEE are intended to prepare the administrative will and, in particular, in the case of subparagraphs (b), (c), (d) and (f) of that article 40, to conform it in accordance with their conclusions, in accordance with the binding nature imposed by the same rule.

That the NATIONAL EXECUTIVE PODER deems it appropriate to approve the decisions of the PERMANENT CONSULTIVE COMMITTEE regarding the Labor Incapacity Assessment Table provided for in Act No. 24.557.

Having complied with the provisions of article 49 final provision 1 of the Law on RISKS OF WORK, it is appropriate, in order to confer the necessary legal certainty all interested parties, that the NATIONAL EXECUTIVE PODER establishes with certainty the date of entry into force of the Law.

That the present decree is issued on the basis of the powers conferred by article 99, paragraph 2, of the NATIONAL CONSTITUTION, and article 8, paragraph 3 of Act No. 24.557.

Therefore,

THE PRESIDENT OF THE ARGENTINA NATION

13. C CICATRIES

The evaluation refers to the Chapters corresponding to the affected area.

14. You'll burn

Burns can be caused by physical, chemical or radiant elements.

Evaluation methods:

The superficial lesions that heal without leaving scars or sequelae, will not be a reason for evaluation.

To determine the degree of incapacity caused by a burn, we must take into account its extension, depth, commitment to joint mobility and aesthetic sequelae.

The evaluation of the loss of mobility must be carried out in accordance with the chapter on osteoarticular lesions.

To quantify the extent of the injury, the "Rule of Nine" will be applied, where 36 % of the body surface is assigned to the chest and back, 36 % to the two lower members, 18 % to both superior members, 9 % to the head and 1 % to the genitals (male or female).

The depth of burns is assessed as follows:

Type A (superficial or epidermal);

Type AB (epidermis and dermis);

Type B (demis to aponeurosis or bone)

The type "A" or first degree will be assigned 50% of the percentage of the extent of the injured body surface. In the case of the type "AB" or of the second degree, a percentage equal to the affected area will be set; finally, the type "B" or third degree will be assigned twice the extent of the complained sector.

Thus, for example, a burn from the previous part of the left arm, which involves the anterior side of the elbow and does not reach the hand of the type AB, will correspond to an inability according to the following detail:

Functional limitation of elbow by retraction from 150a He's 70.a (flexo-extension)

extension of the burn

depth or type AB

The summary gives us: 27% incapacity.

3.5 %

3.5 %

Another example: the burn of the external genitals in a man with a retraction in the abduction between both lower and type AB members.

In this case it would correspond:

Limitation on abduction in both lower members (similar anchilosis in abduction)

Extension of burn

Type of burn "AB"

The summary gives us: 32% incapacity.

30%

%

%

Another example: the burn of the previous face of the inf member with limitation of the bending of knee, of type B.

In this case it would correspond:

Limitation on knee extension (flexoextension from 150th to 20th)

Extension of burn:

Type of burn "B":

The summary gives us: 47% incapacity.

20%

9 %

18 %

The commitment of structures located in the affected area (e.g., eyes), will be evaluated according to the relevant chapters.

15. S COMMISSIONS PRODUCTED BY ACTION OF ANIMALS PONZOÑOS

The local commitment will be valued, according to the item relating to Burns; for the functional limitation of the osteoarticular structures it refers to the corresponding Chapter.

The general manifestation of the toxic action of the venom of snakes and of the scorpions, will be valued according to the consolidated sequel, for which it is referred to the corresponding Cap.

OSTEOARTICULAR

General

FOR THE EVALUATION OF OSTEOARTICULAR AFFECTIONS TO BE TAKEN IN ANATOMO-FUNCIONAL SECUELS DERIVED FROM A WORKING ACCIDENT OR A PROFESSIONAL ENFERMEDY.

For diagnosis, the clinic will be used primarily and in case of suspected simulation, support tests such as simple x-rays, electrophysiological studies, Computed Axial Tomography (TAC - scanner), Magnetic Nuclear Resonance, somatosensitive potentials, among others.

Fractures that consolidate well without leaving any sequel (muscular, neurological, etc.), will not be grounds for economic restitution and will be considered temporary incapacity.

Pure pain, not accompanied by objective signs of organicity, will not be the goal of permanent incapacity. In these cases, the use of support reviews will be indicated.

In patients affected by multiple invalidities of anatomical and/or futional lesions in the same body segment, the sum of all of them will be applied for the calculation of total invalidity. The final result will have as much the percentage of incapacity given by the complete loss (amputation of the studied segment).

If the worker previously submits, limitation of the movements of one or more joints, the remaining capacity of the joints will be taken as normal and the calculations of the new rigidity proportionally to the remaining capacity will be made.

The segments to consider are:

1. COLUMNA

VERTEBRAL

CERVICAL

DORSOLUMBAR

SACROCOXIS

2. CA TORACIC CAJA

3. _

4. MI MISBRO INFERIOR

COLUMNA VERTEBRAL

(1) The limitation of the mobility and/or anchilosis of the spinal column to be evaluated for the purposes of this law is what results from the vicious consolidation or aftermath of industrial accidents.

(2) In cases of mobility limitation, when several movements are affected, the degree of disability of each of them is arithmetic.

(3) In cases in which the column is overwhelmed, the greatest value for anchilosis corresponds to the overall inability of the column.

(4) Anatomical alterations and limitations in the cervical and/dorsolumbar sectors combine with each other when they coexist.

(5) By "clinical" alterations is understood strength, tone, trophy and reflexes. The limitation of mobility is valued apart in arithmetic way.

6) If the eventual neurological commitment to the incapacity assessed by osteoarticular sequel is not contemplated, the same, determined in the corresponding Cap, will be combined with this.

OJOS

General

THE OJOS LESIONS THAT ARE ASSESSED, ARE THE LAWS OF PROFESSIONAL ENVIRONMENTS FIGURED IN THE LISTED, DIAGNOSTICED AS PERMANENT OR SECUELS OF WORKING ACCIDENTS.

The sequel to a labor accident or alterations produced by a professional disease with an ophthalmological impact can produce the following commitment to visual function.

1. . Loss of visual acuity. By commitment to transparent means, the retina of the optical nerve, the optical pathway or the sensory cortex.

2. . Loss of the visual field, can be uni or bilateral.

3. ). Loss or commitment of the motor function of extraocular musculature (with or without diplopia).

4. ). Loss of eye alignment and position and/or palpebal mobility (ptosis, lakeftamos and other alterations).

5. . Lagrimal Way injuries.

6. . Miscellaneous alterations.

Useful Elements for Evaluation: Anamnesis, Ophthalmological Physical Test: Visual Acuteness, Visual Field, Eye Fund, Biomicroscopy (BMC), Retinofluoresceinography and/or Neurological.

The diagnosis will eventually be completed with: Rx, Eco, TC, RMN or Evoked Potentials.

Bilateral visual capacity will be evaluated in all cases.

1. Visual aggress

1.1 ). The visual acuity will be determined corrected if appropriate or without correction if the use of the conventional lens or contact lens is not bearable (intolerance, aniseiconia, non-corrigible defects of the eye surface).

When the contact lens is well tolerated, its correction shall be considered in the calculation of invalidity.

1.2 . The loss of the vision of an eye should be evaluated following the values provided by the Table of Sená, approved by the Argentine Council of Ophthalmology.

1.3 . Total loss of one eye's vision will be causal of a 42% disability. This value will refer to the calculation of the loss of vision and the visual field.

1.4 . According to Sena Tables the loss of the eyeball (enucleation) will give a 5% invalidity.

1.5 . If the worker is a single eye carrier, at the time of starting the working relationship, the vision commitment will be evaluated according to the table below. Visions should be assessed with correction of the vices of refraction that may exist.

1.6 If the commitment of the vision is bilateral will be evaluated according to the Table of Sená resulting in the percentage of the union of the horizontal line (the first eye) with the value of the vertical line (the second eye).

1.7 . There can be poor visual acuity by macular vision regarding peripheral vision. In this case, the office of the accident to evaluate the incapacity must be taken care of.

In general, the criterion of invalidity for the specific trade, for certain work or for all work should be addressed in this and in all cases (WHO legal framework).

1.8 . In the case of a corrected afáquic patient or a pseudophac patient with intraocular lens and with or without additional air correction, the remaining central vision will be considered as an incapacity index to which 30% will be added to the loss of the peripheral visual field.

If there are problems in the uninjured eye and this has increased with trauma, you will be given lenses.

When it is an eye without intraocular lens the AV determined according to the Sená table is divided by two (e.g.: 8/10 will be 4/10) for normal visual calculation.

1.9 . The inoperable cataract will be evaluated according to visual sharpness.

2. Loss of Visual Field

2.1 . The loss of the visual field must be determined once guaranteed as much visual acuity as possible, with correction, if necessary.

2.2. El The commitment of the visual field will be evaluated considering the following scheme as a normal visual field.

image

2.3 . For activities that demand a visual acuity without limitations, where the peripheral visual field is of capital importance (machinist, bus drivers, crane operators and heavy machinery, etc.) will be considered the visual field divided into 8 meridians of 60 degrees each which equals 500 degrees.

For activities that do not require such visual capacity (officialists, teachers, service activities), understanding that the lesions are monocular, the visual field will be considered divided into 8 meridians but of 40 central degrees, which is equivalent to 320 degrees.

2.4 . The field obtained with the Goldmann campimeter will be analyzed with Isoptera 1/IV for the periphery and 1/II for the central field, and the degrees committed in each meridian will be counted.

2.5 . Obtained the graphic of the countryside, the grades of the eight meridians are added and divided by 320 (total of degrees for the normal visual field for each eye), or 500 if it refers to special cases, obtaining the preserved visual field. The difference with unity will be the loss of the visual field of that eye.

The loss of unilateral visual capacity is multiplied by the 0.25 index to calculate the loss of global capacity.

2.6 . When it comes to the bilateral visual field, the loss of both eyes is calculated separately. Then they are added and the result is multiplied by factor 1.5, thus obtaining the total degree of incapacity for bilateral loss of the visual field.

2.7 ). When the visual sharpness is compromised, the percentage of loss of the visual field must be added to the one originated by the first (according to the remaining capacity).

3. Loss of the Function of Extraocular Musculature. Diplopia

3.1 . The loss of this function forces the patient to consult by diplopia and/or deviation from the head. Diplopia can also be caused by trauma of the base of the orbit, or monocular in special cases of corneal damage.

The evaluation of it will be considered the age and time of evolution, determining an incapacity that will fluctuate between 10 and 25%.

3.2 . It should be considered as a Residual Diplopia that which has been impossible to correct with the surgery and that it is also not possible to reduce with the use of Frenkel compensatory prisms in the post-operative period.

The worker may perform a profession under the same conditions as a monocular, having to use occlusion to carry out his activity.

4. Loss of Eye Alignment, Position or Palpebral Mobility and Miscellaneous

4.1 . The loss of eye alignment due to various causes (postoperative, traumatic, etc.) will cause invalidity.

Standards for the evaluation of hearing damage

Workers who have suffered hearing damage, whether from intoxication, acute or chronic overexposure to noise, or by encephalic contusion, will be subjected to hearing study consisting of otological evaluation and 3 audiometries, as well as other studies to verify the cochleal damage. These tests should be done after a minimum of 24 hours. hearing rest and between them there must be an interval not less than 7 days.

The averages of decibels, measured on the thresholds of the frequencies considered, in the three examinations, may not differ by more than 10 dB. If this requirement is not met in the 3 audiometries, others should be taken to achieve it.

If, as a result of acute trauma, the function of one ear is completely and irreversibly lost, the normality of the other remains, the inability to recognize will be 15%.

Total, traumatic or noise exposure hypoacusis will be evaluated with a 42% disability. Partial hypoaccusias will be evaluated according to tables.

Calculation of monoaural loss

The loss in airway decibels of the tones is added 500, 1,000, 2,000 and 4,000. The amount obtained is transferred to the table where it becomes a percentage of hearing loss.

Calculation of bilateral hearing loss

It adds the loss in airway decibels of the tones 500, 1,000, 2,000 and 4,000 of each ear and moves it to the Table of the A.M.A./84 - A.A.O. MAY./79.

In this Table the best ear and in its vertical axis the worst must be sought in its horizontal axis; from the intersection of both axis the bilateral hearing loss arises in percentages. This value multiplied by 0.42 results in the loss of % of the salary.

If you do not have the AMA Table, you can determine the value of the loss of the salary percentage, for uni or bilateral hearing injury, with the following formula:

(% Hear better x 5) + (% Hear worse x 1)

x 0.42 = % of the Salary

Evaluation of inability to alter balance due to injury of the vestibular branch.

The alteration of the vestibular branch of the auditory nerve can cause disturbances of balance. For the purposes of this rule, balance is defined as the ability to acquire, change or maintain a bodily attitude that allows the realization of a particular job.

The determination of deterioration will be based on objective signs, attributed to organic damage, in the labyrinth examination. The assessment of the deterioration will be established on the basis of the degree of balance disorder (by electronistagmogram, neurological examination, etc.) and not in relation to vertiginous symptoms. The determinations will be made after 6 months of suspension of exposure to the agent or the allegedly causal accident. The levels of deterioration to be considered with their respective incapacities are as follows:

Grade I. Minimum deterioration. There is imbalance with abrupt changes in the position of the head or in certain positions of the head. Leves deviations and/or lateropulsions in the march with closed eyes. Target signs of organic damage in labyrinth and/or neurological examination.

Inability 10 %

Grade II. Mild deterior. There are disorders in the march and quick spins that are accentuated in doing so with closed eyes. It makes him stand with his eyes closed. There are objective signs in labyrinth and/or neurological examinations.

Inability 20%

Grade III. Moderate deterior. The march is only possible with cane support. Great difficulty in maintaining balance with closed eyes and impossibility of marching in those conditions.

Inability 40 %

Grade IV. Advanced deterior. There is great difficulty in making changes in position. Impossibility of maintaining a position to perform a task.

Inability 70 %

Grade V. Serious deterior. Impossibility of marching with open eyes. It requires third-party assistance for your transfer.

The Spirometric study is of fundamental importance for the diagnosis of the type of lung pathology, especially in professional diseases. The functional normality criterion will be proposed by the American Thoracic Society.

With anamnesis (disnea, agent, type of work, etc.), Physical exam, spirometry, Rx, and eventually blood gases and pulmonary gas diffusion; the diagnosis of Professional Disease will be reached, and the worker will be placed within the following table to assess the degree of respiratory incapacity present.

1. S FIBROGENIC NEUMOCONIOSIS

The criteria for assessing respiratory incapacity caused by fibrogenic pneumoconiosis, such as those derived from exposure to silica, asbestos, etc., are mainly based on radiological and functional commitment. For radiological purposes, the standard of reading pneumoconiosis plates of the International Labour Organization (ILO) of 1980 is used, which sets out the criteria shown in the following table:

Pulmonary radiological alterations are sine qua non condition for the diagnosis of pneumoconiosis. In the case of workers exposed to asbestos fiber, the presence of pleural plaque, as an isolated sign, does not allow the diagnosis of asbestosis in the absence of parechymatous opacities.

To measure the functional commitment, spirometry will be used, which must be performed without bronchodilator, being the Vital Force (CVF) and the Residual Capacity (CR) the most altered parameters in this pathology, as shown in Table 1.

The measured volumes will be expressed in percentages of normality references.

Bearing in mind that fibrogenic pneumoconiosis, by the development of fibrosis, which destroys and replaces the lung tissue, give a fundamentally restrictive commitment, the value of the forced vital capacity (CVF), will be the item that will affect the worker's location in the Respiratory Incapacity Table.

2. C CRONQUITIS CRONICA OCUPACIONAL

Chronic exposure to irritating respiratory agents contributes to the development of chronic bronchitis. This entity is defined as the presence of cough and expectation for a minimum period of 3 months per year, at least for two consecutive years.

1. . Simple chronic bronchitis in which there is no permanent and irreversible obstruction of the airway.

Inability 0 %

2. . Chronic obstructive bronchitis. the inability will be determined on the basis of the ventilatory alterations that are demonstrated by the spirometry without the use of bronchodilatador, bearing in mind that for obstructive pathology, the indicators Enforced Spiratory Volume will be used in a second (VEF1), and the relationship between it and the Forced Vital Capacity or Tiffeneau Indice VEF1/CVF, as the most orientation of the worker's location.

If the result is less than 66 %, the permanent incapacity will be leveled by 66 % in cases where the measurements of resting blood gases show a PaO2 equal to or less than 85 % or a CO2 PA equal to or greater than 15 % of what is considered normal.

3. ASMA BRONQUIAL OCUPATIONAL

In cases of occupational asthma for the effects of disability, the following three categories shall be recognized:

A. . Asthma without Bronchial Hyperreactibility Unspecific. Once the person is permanently removed from the labor environment causing the asthma disappears. While there is no respiratory sequelae, there is an immune state that prevents him from continuing to perform his specific work.

Inability: 0-15 %.

B. . Asma with unspecific HRB. The person continues to suffer from asthma despite his definitive removal from the causative working environment, which makes it imperative to permanently treat maintenance and regular medical controls. With proper treatment, you can unravel relatively well in your daily life, with jobs that do not involve respiratory attacks of any kind, including smoking.

Inability: 15-30 %.

C. . Severe bronchial asthma, is associated with persistent bronchial obstruction, which does not significantly reverse with the use of bronchodilators, constitute a severe limiter for physical effort. Incapacity will be determined by spirometric tests, to classify it at the corresponding functional stage. The parameters to be taken into account are the same as obstructive chronic bronchitis, i.e. the Forged expiratory volume in 1 sec. (VEF1) and the VEF1/CVF ratio.

HRB should be objectivized only by the metacoline test. The response will be considered positive with a minimum drop in the VEF1 of 20%.

4. DEL OCUPATIONAL CANCER OF RESPIRATORY APARTMENT

Numerous epidemiological studies have established an association between respiratory cancer and exposure to certain labor inhalation risks. Such is the case of arsenic, asbestos and chromium which constitute some of the leading causative agents. Both bronchial cancer and pleural mesothelioma are of great malignity and, therefore, of poor prognosis. Bearing in mind the above, it is appropriate to assign to any of the aforementioned, cone without demonstration of metastasis, a disability between 66 and 90 %.

ESOFAGO

Working accidents that cause injuries in the esophagus are exceptional. They may be caused at the neck and/or chest level as a result of the intake of caustic or penetrating wounds in those regions. The latter are usually accompanied by commitments in other bodies.

Sequelae are directly related to the injury that caused them or may be secondary to the treatment, which must have been performed.

In anamnesis you will have special interest in the evaluation of dysphagia, pain and vomiting.

The physical examination shall consider the nutritional status. The contribution of Clinical History will be required, with the diagnostic and therapeutic procedures performed.

The stomach and duodenum may be injured by violent contusions in the epigastric region and lower thorax area by abdominal penetrating wounds and also by caustic ingestion.

The duodenum can explode by being heavily crushed against the vertebral bodies and, when this happens, the pancreas is usually compromised.

In all these cases surgical intervention is imposed, where the treatment will be determined: from simple closure to wide resections. For this reason, it is important to require a copy of the surgical part, and the complementary studies performed.

2. COMMISSIONS OF PERIFERIC NERVOUS

They are the ones that can accompany the Osteoarticular lesions, manifested by the sensitive deficits and/or motors.

The percentages of incapacity correspond to complete injuries. In relation to partial injuries of pure motor or sensitive nerves, the percentage of incapacity will be calculated by percentage to the lost function. For these purposes, the scale proposed by the British Medical Research Council will be used to gradify M0 to M5 and Sensitivity in S0 to S5 ranges.

M0:

100% motor failure

M1 and M2:

80% of motor incapacity

M3:

60% motor failure

M4:

30% motor incapacity

M5:

0 % motor failure

Percentage of disability:

M0:

Total paralysis

M1:

Contraction sketch (muscular fibers)

M2:

Contraction possible, eliminating the force of gravity

M3:

Contraction possible against the force of gravity

M4:

Contraction against some resistance

M5:

Contraction against major resistance

Sensitivity

S0:

100% sensitive disability

S1:

80% of sensitive disability

S2:

60 % of sensitive disability

S3:

40 % of sensitive incapacity

S4:

20% sensitive incapacity

S5:

0 % of sensitive incapacity (full death)

Mixed nerves are weighted by percentage as to the functional importance of their sensory and motor components, so partial lesions must finally be calculated according to this factor.

For example:

Partial injury of the medium nerve at wrist level:

Average M3 (60 % motor failure)

Average sensitivity S2 (60 % of sensitive disability)

Functional position of the medium nerve on the wrist:

(component motor 40%, and sensitive component 60%)

(higher functional importance has the sensitive component)

Complete injury of the medium nerve: 25% incapacity

Engine component: 25 x 0.40 = 10 % x 0.60 (M3) = 6 % (motor capacity)

Sensitive component: 25 x 0.60 = 15 % x 0.60 (M3) = 9 % (sensitive incapacity)

Total inability of the medium nerve: 15%

In the case of coexistence of the neurological lesion with joint stiffness and deformity, the sum of both incapacities will be carried out, having as a maximum the percentage of incapacity for the amputation of the segment in valuation.

Neurotendinous lesions will be evaluated by adding the incapacities resulting from neurological injury and the alteration of joint mobility that causes tendon lesion. In the same way, the amputation of the studied segment will have as a maximum degree of incapacity.

Radical lesions will be evaluated according to the partial or total impact they cause on the peripheral nerves that form.

4. S NEURO-PSIQUIATRICES PRODUCED BY CHEMIC AGENTS

I. - ENCEFALOPATIA TOXICA AGUDA

There are numerous chemicals of industrial, agricultural or drug use, present in various production processes that can produce a toxic Acute Encephalopathy, which can generate CEREBRAL ORGANIC DAMAGE, of varying degrees, depending on the severity of intoxication and the opportunity of treatment.

The damages produced are not related to specificity with the chemical agent that causes them and consequently the brain function is evaluated in its psychological and neurological aspects. In cases where there is a brain organic damage, such as a sequel to acute encephalopathy, it is evaluated with the usual methods of Psychiatry, considering the characteristics prior to the disease of the affected person (age, sex, years of exposure, intellectual level, among others).

Agents who can produce ENCEFALOPATIA TOXICA AGUDA:

Mercury and its compounds.

Arsenic and its mineral compounds.

Lead and its compounds.

Alcohols and Cetonas, used as industrial solvents,

Carbon monoxide

Methyl Bromide.

Carbon sulfide.

Sulfhydric acid

The sequelae of acute encephalopathies for occupational intoxication are assessed according to the criteria of CEREBRAL ORGAN DAMAGE, which express the ability of the person to perform globally.

2. - ENCEFALOPATIA TOXICA CRONICA

Long-term exposure, often inappearing, at low doses of various chemicals of industrial or agricultural use produces a CRONIC EARGE DAMAGE, irreversible in all cases and progressive in some of them that must be evaluated with the same instruments and criteria as the sequelae of a Acute toxic encephalopathy.

Agents that can produce ENCEFALOPATIA TOXICA CRONICA:

Mercury.

Lead.

Carbon sulfide.

Halogenated derivatives of Aliphatic hydrocarbons.

Tolueno and Xileno.

Both acute and chronic toxic encephalopathy are evaluated by the brain organic damage they produce and the evaluation is performed in the same way.

The evaluation of brain organic damage secondary to acute toxic encephalopathy should be done at least six months after the sequelae have been stabilized and in the case of chronic toxic encephalopathy, six months after the exposure to the toxic has ceased.

Table 1 shows the most used psychological tests in the measurement of brain organic damage.

DEFINITION

INCAPACITY

I

Momentary functional disruption of consciousness caused by skull trauma with a history of shock, but not of laceration or contusion. No histologic alterations or clinical changes. There is memory of the moment of trauma and a few moments before it. The period of unconsciousness is momentary or short. Recovery is fast and complete. The clinical picture is characterized by headaches, dizziness, lack of concentration and memory.

0 %

(doesn't leave sequels)

II

Trauma causes a loss of consciousness from one to several hours. The patient may suddenly wake up or go through a period of obnubilation of consciousness and confusion. There's post-traumatic amnesia. The functional recovery of the symptoms is complete, often accompanied by a moderate personality disorder, which is called CONTUSIONAL POST SINDROME, or POST-CONTUSIONAL NEUROTICO STATE. The clinical picture is characterized by anguish, headache and vertigo, hypersensitivity to stimuli, apathy and sluggish. Neurological, tomographic and electroencephalographic explorations are not significant. Psychometric tests show moderate elements of organicity. The influence of serious personality disorders must be discarded.

20%

III

The headache is intense and palpitating, aggravated by the horizontal position and exacerbated by physical, mental effort and excitement, and improves with rest and quietness. There are dizziness due to changes in position, sometimes momentary nebulae of the vision of syncopal character, heat intolerance, tobacco and alcohol. Disphase disorders appear in language, loss of thought hierarchy, perseverance. Defects in concentration, perception, understanding and memory. There is intolerance to noises, litigant, fearful, apprehensive, hypochondriac. Neurological, tomographic, electroencephalographic and psychometric explorations present in all cases French organic alterations.

SIQUIATRIA

General

THE SIQUIATRICTIONS TO BE ASSESSED, ARE THE SHIPPING OF THE PROFESSIONAL ENVIRONMENTS THAT FIGURE IN THE LISTED, DIAGNOSTICADA COMMANENT OR SECUELS OF WORKING ACCIDENTS.

Psychopathological diseases will not cause economic restitution, as in almost all of these diseases they have a structural basis.

Side psychiatric disorders or accidents due to skull-encephalic and/or post-traumatic epilepsy traumatic trauma (such as Acquired Abnormal Personalities and Post-Traumatic Dementia, Organic Chronic Deliriums, etc.) will be evaluated only under the heading TRAUMATIC ORGANIC OR IV.

Only the REACTIONS or the DISORDINATION of these TRAUMATIC POSTs, the NEUROTICAL VIVENTIAL REACTIONS, the PARANOIDES and the PSICOTIC DEPRESION that have a specific causal link related to a labor accident will be recognized. It should be discarded first of all the causes outside this etiology, such as the predisponent personality, socio-economic, family factors, etc.

Partial psychiatric incapacities, if there is more than one diagnosis, will not be summarizing, but will be recognized only for the most incapacity.

1. RE REACTIONS OR DISORDENGES BY THIS TRAUMATIC POST

They will be recognized when they are directly related to relevant traumatic events that occur at work, either as accidents, or as a witness to it. They constitute a disease, officially recognized by DSM III, and CIE 10 (WHO), which has an etiology, a presentation and a course, as well as a prognosis and resolution.

In general they tend to adapt to their new reality, and the vast majority of patients improve after three to six months, without sequelae.

A smaller group of cases evolve into a TRAUMATIC POST NEUROSIS, which does determine some degree of inability for work.

They will be considered for evaluation as ANORMAL VIVENCE REACTIONS discussed below.

2. ) NEUROTICAL ANORMAL VIEW REACTIONS (NEUROSIS)

In abnormal neurotic living reactions, as a result of work accidents, the previous personality must be carefully evaluated.

Important features will be considered for evaluation: the subject's basic personality, biography, mourning episodes, affective response, frustrated labor expectations and personal relationships with the environment.

Grade I

Definition: They are related to daily situations, the magnitude is mild, does not interfere in the activities of daily life, nor the adaptation of its medium. No permanent treatment required.

INCAPACITY: 0 %

Grade II

Definition: The features of the base personality are accentuated, they do not present alterations in thought, concentration or memory. They sometimes need some type of medication or psychotherapeutic treatment.

INCAPACITY: 10%

Grade III

Definition: They require more intensive treatment. There is remission of the most acute symptoms before three months. Memory and concentration disorders are verified during psychiatric and psychodiagnosis examination. The forms of presentation are from depression, conversive crises, panic crises, phobias and obsessions. They are reversible with appropriate psychopharmamacological and psychotherapeutic treatment. The controls are ongoing every year.

INCAPACITY: 20%

Grade IV

Definition: They require permanent assistance from third parties. Fóbical Neurosis, hysterical conversions, are the most invalid clinical expressions in this type of reaction. Neurotic depressions can also be very invalidating.

Paranoid reaction:

Abnormal living reaction of psychological origin, secondary to intensely lived experience. There is a vulnerable personality predisponent, such as the litigants and sensitives of K. Schneider. The duration is from weeks to months, without leaving sequelae.

INCAPACITY: There is no inability to work.

Paranoid Development or Paranoia.

Definition: Chronic, irreducible, incapacitating, irreversible, interpretative systematized delirium. (Only those originating in industrial accidents will be considered.)

INCAPACITY: Up to 50%

4. A PSICOTIC DEPRESION

Definition: When a reactive depressive picture has an evolution of melancholic psychotic characteristics that deviates from the motive that originated it, evolving into an affective psychosis, they are incapacitating while the phase lasts, which remits with ad-integrum restitution in most cases (only those that originate in occupational accidents will be considered).

In the event that more than a year is prolonged, or the age is aggravated by elements of involution with cerebral organicity, paranoid and organic sensoperceptive deliroid components, they are incapable of being irreversible.

INCAPACITY: up to 50%.

5. DE NEUROSIS OF RENTA

Definition: It is a mental state of some sinister or rugged individuals, of litigant personality, who unconsciously exaggerate functional impotence, abnormally prolong labor incapacity, accentuate objective sequelae, with other subjectives and undertake a growing PARANOIDE activity in search of maximum compensation.

Given the existence of a prior personality disorder before the damage, they do not give the right to incapacity assessment as a sequel to an accident at work.

NOTE: Due to the characteristics of these labour incapacity assessment examinations, it should be studied to rule out possible: Simulations, Metasimulations or perseverance and Oversimulation.

SIMULATION: Voluntary production of false or exaggerated mental or physical symptoms, motivated by the attainment of any objective, such as the obtaining of economic compensations.

METASIMULATION OR PERSEVERATION: Characterized by description of missing symptoms or already cured pathology.

ONSIMULATION: Exaggeration of subjective symptoms that may persist.

The foregoing leads medical experts on more than one occasion to make mistakes or deception, making the correct assessment of incapacity difficult.

PONDERATION FACTORS

1. OS FUNDAMENTS

In order to comply with the provisions of article 8 (3) of the Labour Risks Act, which states that "The degree of permanent labour incapacity shall be determined by the medical commissions of this law, on the basis of the labour incapacity assessment table, which shall be prepared by the National Executive and shall, among other factors, ponder the age of the worker, the type of activity and the possibilities of job relocation", the instruction is attached for the application of the application.

The three factors that govern the incorporation of the Law are: age, type of activity and possibilities of employment relocation. Age is a perfectly determinable factor and does not need the generation of any additional variable in order to incorporate it as a weighting factor.

The same does not happen in the case of type of activity and the possibilities of job relocation, which is why it becomes necessary to generate determinable variables that allow us to approximate the state of these weighting factors.

In the case of the type of activity, the nearest indicator is the degree of difficulty that causes the individual's inability to perform his usual tasks. Some of the criteria adopted by the Integrated Pension and Pension System (SIJP) set out the following categories: performs the usual tasks without difficulty, performs them with minor difficulty, with intermediate difficulty or with high difficulty.

In the case of job relocation possibilities, it is considered that the variable that best approaches the possibilities of job relocation is the requalification of the individual. The categorization according to the requalification of the Individual is performed according to whether "merita" or "no amerita" requalification. The division in these categories is made to .los, In order to assimilate the "greater possibilities of job relocation" with the "do not deserve requalification" and the "lower possibilities of relocation" with the "requalification letter".

The weighting of these factors is a task to be addressed on a case-by-case basis, to determine whether it is appropriate to apply .according to the characteristics of the accident and injury, the possibilities of relocation, the affectation for the performance of their usual task, etc. estos these weighting factors and, if any, the range of them. To this end, one or more of the factors may be applied and not necessarily the maximum expected value.

2. PROCEDURES

Once the functional incapacity is determined according to the work incapacity assessment table, the weighting factors will be incorporated.

Percentages arising from the application of the work incapacity assessment table may be increased by the percentage (1) arising from the application of weighting factors as follows:

(1) When reference is made to increase the percentage of the table, it implies that the percentage of the table should be multiplied by (1+x%).

1. Activity type factor

This factor is incorporated into definitively dictating the degree of disability. The assessment of the degree of difficulty that the individual has to perform his or her usual task is carried out.

2. Factor of job relocation possibilities.

In this case the incorporation of the factor depends on whether the individual ameritates or not requalification.

Amerita Requalification

Factor value range

Don't lie

Yes amerita

0 %

10%

This implies that in case the individual deserves to be requalified, the application of 10% as a weighting factor corresponds. This percentage will be reduced to 0% if the process ends in accordance with established guidelines. In case of not completing all stages of the process, such a reduction will not correspond. This process of modifying the value of the factor according to the result of requalification will cease once the incapacity acquires the definitive character.

3. Age factor.

The weight factor values according to the age of the injured party should be included in the intervals presented in the following table:

Age of the survivor

Add to the percentages resulting from step 1 and 2

less than 21 years

from 21 to 30 years

31 and more years

0-4 %

0-3 %

0-2 %

4. Operation of Factors.

Once the values of each of the 3 weighting factors are determined, they will be added to each other, determining a unique value. This only value will be the percentage in which the value arising from the functional disability assessment will be increased according to the work incapacity assessment table.

The existence of ranges of values for each factor implies that it is at the discretion of the evaluator to apply a particular value based on the circumstances surrounding the survivor.

In the event that a permanent disability is partial by application of the work incapacity assessment table and that by the incorporation of the weighting factors, the maximum value of this incapacity will be 65%.

CRITERIA OF USE OF LABORAL INCAPACITY TABLES

SUPPORTS

The inability that arises from a professional illness or a work accident will be measured in percentage of the total functional capacity of the individual.

In workers who, in the entrance examinations, have functional anatomical limitations, they must be settled in their personal legacy, being 100% of the worker's functional capacity, their remaining capacity.

This implies, therefore, that for the assessment of the inability of a worker affected by successive sinisters the criterion of the remaining capacity will be used. That is to say that the assessment of the deterioration will be made on the total remaining capacity.

In terms of the assessment of the inability of a large sinister, the product of a single accident will also be used the remaining capacity criterion, using that of greater magnitude to begin with the assessment and continue to be greater to less with the rest of the measurable incapacities.

CONCLUSION

The assessment of permanent incapacity for work accidents and occupational diseases requires the participation of:

The existence of an accident of work or a professional illness duly recognized in accordance with the existing standards.

The presence of, a definitive, irreversible and measurable anatomical or functional decrease that must be the consequence of the sinister labor indicated above.

The damage should be measured in accordance with the provisions of the labour incapacity tables provided for in article 8 of the LRT.

The degree of permanent work incapacity should be the result of the application of the above tables and of the weighting factors that allow for differences in case to case.

The weighting criteria should be specified so that their use is uniform on the part of all the Assessing Medical Commissions and placed on a scale that allows the flexibilisation of their application.
