Workmen's Compensation Law of Texas (1968)

Excerpt from a 1968 commercial edition of the Texas Workmen's Compensation Law, with the rules of the Industrial Accident Board, published by The Steck Company of Austin. It has the cover and printed pages 30-35. These pages give Section 20's list of occupational diseases, which names asbestosis and silicosis, and Sections 21-26 on aggravation, liability and the special silicosis and asbestosis provisions. The asbestosis provisions were five years' exposure in the last ten, two in Texas; benefits phased in at 20 percent a year; medical treatment capped at 91 days; and waivers allowed for affected workers who stayed in the job.
