BC: New Amendment to Cover Plantar Fasciitis as an Occupational Illness November 25 2015
In British Columbia, the Worker’s Compensation Board of Directors has recently approved an amendment to the Rehabilitation Services & Claims Manual. This change introduces policy that adds Plantar Fasciitis to the list of compensable Activity-Related Soft Tissue Disorders.
Plantar Fasciitis, also known as Jogger’s Heel, is a disorder resulting in sharp pain in the heel of the foot accompanied by generalized swelling. The exact causes remain unclear, but risk factors include excessive period spent standing, as well as increases in exercise and obesity.
The new policy does not include any official risk factors or tie the disease to any one industry; as such, workplace claims of Plantar Fasciitis will be judged on a case-by-case basis.
This amendment will be made effective on December 1st, 2015.
C.-B. : Nouvel amendement pour inclure la fasciite plantaire à la liste des maladies professionnelles
En Colombie-Britannique, le conseil d'administration de la Commission d’indemnisation des accidents du travail a récemment approuvé une modification au Rehabilitation Services & Claims Manual. Cette modification met en œuvre une politique en vertu de laquelle l’aponévrosite plantaire (ou fasciite plantaire) est ajoutée à la liste des troubles des tissus mous associés au travail donnant lieu à indemnisation.
La fasciite plantaire, également connue sous le nom d’épine de Lenoir, est une maladie entraînant une douleur vive au talon du pied accompagnée d'une enflure généralisée. Les causes exactes demeurent incertaines, mais les facteurs de risque incluent de trop longues périodes en position debout, ainsi qu’une augmentation de l’exercice et l’obésité.
La nouvelle politique n’inclut aucun des facteurs de risque officiels et ne lie la maladie à aucune industrie en particulier; par conséquent, les réclamations à l’égard d’une fasciite plantaire causée par le travail seront jugées au cas-par-cas.
Cet amendement entrera en vigueur le 1er décembre 2015.
