Workers' compensation; injuries caused by repetitive and sustained physical stressors. Provides that, for the purposes of the Virginia Workers' Compensation Act, "occupational disease" includes injuries from conditions resulting from repetitive and sustained physical stressors, including repetitive and sustained motions, exertions, posture stress, contact stresses, vibration, or noise.

Such coverage does not require that the injuries occurred over a particular time period under the bill, provided that such a period can be reasonably identified. Read the Bill »
