Significant contributing factor
In determining whether a worker's employment was a significant contributing factor to an injury, the following must be taken into account —
- the duration of the worker's current employment
- the nature of the work performed
- the particular tasks of the employment
- the probable development of the injury occurring if that employment had not taken place
- the existence of any hereditary risks
- the life style of the worker
- the activities of the worker outside the workplace.
