- occupational disease: means only a disease that is due to causes and conditions characteristic of a particular trade, occupation, process or employment and that arises out of and in the course of employment. See Maine Revised Statutes Title 39-A Sec. 603
An employer may request any of the employer’s employees or prospective employees to be examined for the purpose of ascertaining if any of them are in any degree affected by an occupational disease or peculiarly susceptible to an occupational disease. Refusal to submit to such an examination bars that employee or prospective employee from compensation or other benefits provided by this chapter resulting from exposure to the hazards of occupational disease subsequent to the employee’s refusal and while in the employ of the employer.
