These Regulations amend the Social Security (Industrial Injuries) (Prescribed Diseases) Regulations 1985 (“the principal Regulations”) and come into force in relation to regulations 1, 2, 3, 5, 6 and 7 on 9th August 1989 and in relation to regulation 4 on 16th October 1989.
The Social Security Act 1986 (c. 50) raised from 1 to 14 per cent. the percentage degree of disablement which qualifies a person for disablement pension. Regulations 2 and 3 provide for regulations 6 (date of onset) and 7 (recrudescence) of the principal Regulations to apply as if that change had not been made.
Regulation 4 contains amendents relating to the prescription of the disease numbered A10 (occupational deafness). In particular it removes the requirement for hearing loss to be measured by pure tone audiometry.
Regulation 5 provides for regulation 37 of the principal Regulations (which relates to medical examinations) to apply equally to men and women.
Regulation 6 provides for industrial diseases Avian Chlamydiosis, Ovine Chlamydiosis and Q Fever to be added to the diseases prescribed under Chapter V of Part II of the Social Security Act 1975. Regulation 7 provides for the date before which entitlement to benefit in respect of those diseases does not arise.
