SS#2/SCS/SB 8 - The act affirmatively states that occupational diseases are covered under workers' compensation laws. This act ensures that co-employees shall be released from liability for all workplace injuries under the workers' compensation system except when they engage in an affirmative negligent act that purposefully and dangerously caused or increased the risk of injury. When an employer knowingly engages in conduct and is reasonably ceratin that injury to or death of an employee will result, the employer's conduct shall be deemed to make such injury or death resulting from such conduct not subject to the exclusive remedy provisions of the workers' compensation act.
