Illinois Compiled Statutes-infectious diseases exposure |
In this Act the
term "Occupational Disease" means a disease arising out of and in
the course of the employment or which has become aggravated and
rendered disabling as a result of the exposure of the employment.
Such aggravation shall arise out of a risk peculiar to or increased
by the employment and not common to the general public.
A disease shall be deemed to arise out of the employment if
there is apparent to the rational mind, upon consideration of all
the circumstances, a causal connection between the conditions under
which the work is performed and the occupational disease. The
disease need not to have been foreseen or expected but after its
contraction it must appear to have had its origin or aggravation in
a risk connected with the employment and to have flowed from that
source as a rational consequence.
An employee shall be conclusively deemed to have been exposed to
the hazards of an occupational disease when, for any length of time
however short, he or she is employed in an occupation or process in
which the hazard of the disease exists; provided however, that in a
claim of exposure to atomic radiation, the fact of such exposure
must be verified by the records of the central registry of radiation
exposure maintained by the Department of Public Health or by some
other recognized governmental agency maintaining records of such
exposures whenever and to the extent that the records are on file
with the Department of Public Health or the agency.
No
compensation shall be payable for or on account of any occupational
disease unless disablement, as herein defined, occurs within two
years after the last day of the last exposure to the hazards of the
disease, except in cases of occupational disease caused by
berylliosis or by the inhalation of silica dust or asbestos dust
and, in such cases, within 3 years after the last day of the last
exposure to the hazards of such disease and except in the case of
occupational disease caused by exposure to radiological materials or
equipment, and in such case, within 25 years after the last day of
last exposure to the hazards of such disease. |

This article explains the process and regulations concerning
Illinois’s Workers’ Compensation Law |
|
|
Illinois Compiled Statutes-infectious diseases exposure |
The limitations of the Illinois Workers’ Occupational Diseases Act
are more complicated. First of all, the employee must experience
‘disablement’ within 2 years after the last day of the last exposure
to the hazards of the disease on the job. Secondly, an Application
for Adjustment of Claim must be filed with the Industrial Commission
within 3 years after the date of disablement, or within 2 years of
the last payment of compensation benefits, whichever date is later.
Both conditions must be met in order for an employee to secure
workers’ compensation benefits. Because the subject employee did not
experience the symptoms of the infectious disease within 2 years of
the needle stick, all claims will be time-barred under the Workers’
Occupational Disease Act |

PRTII (Perinatal Rapid Testing Implementation in Illinois) Written
Testimony to the House Human Services Committee |
In August 2003, Illinois passed the Perinatal HIV Prevention Act
that mandated prenatal care providers counsel and offer HIV tests to
all pregnant women as early in pregnancy as possible. Additionally,
it specified that rapid testing must be offered to all laboring
women and newborns with undocumented HIV status. By December of
2003, it was clear that very little progress had been made in
implementing the new law. A group of HIV care providers and public
health professionals approached IDPH for funding to assist with the
complete and effective implementation of the law. |

The Illinois Perinatal HIV Prevention Law: Guidelines for Delivery
of Care |
The Illinois
Perinatal HIV Prevention Act (Public Act 93-0566) was enacted to
prevent mother to- newborn transmission of HIV. The law requires
healthcare providers to ensure that every expectant mother under
their care receives HIV counseling and is encouraged to consent to
voluntary HIV testing for themselves and their infant. By
identifying HIV-positive mothers and newborns who test positive for
the presence of HIV antibodies, treatment that greatly reduces the
risk of HIV infection to infants can be provided. |
