Workers with pre-existing asthma that has become "aggravated" by stimuli in the workplace can be "disabled" in a legal sense. Should workers compensation be extended to provide disability benefits when the aggravating stimuli are ubiquitous, when the employment relationship was brief, when separation from the offending stimuli ends symptoms, or when hyperreactivity can be medically managed?
患有哮喘病的工人,如果其病情因工作场所的刺激而“加重”,在法律意义上可能会被认定为“残疾”。当加重病情的刺激因素普遍存在、雇佣关系短暂、脱离有害刺激症状即消失,或者过敏反应可以通过医学手段控制时,是否应该扩大工伤赔偿范围以提供残疾福利?
