Terms Used In South Carolina Code 42-11-80
- disablement: means the event of an employee's becoming actually incapacitated, partially or totally, because of an occupational disease, from performing his work in the last occupation in which injuriously exposed to the hazards of such disease, "partial disability" means the physical inability to continue work in such occupation only and "total disability" means the physical inability to perform work in any occupation. See South Carolina Code 42-11-20
If an employee, at the time of his employment, wilfully and falsely represents in writing that he has not previously suffered from the disease which is the cause of disability or death, no compensation shall be payable. If an employee who has previously suffered from an occupational disease desires to continue in an employment to which such a disease is a hazard, he may waive his right to receive further benefits for disablement or disability from such disease by written agreement approved by the commission in accordance with such rules as it may promulgate.
