Other adjoining areas employers use for loading and unloading, building, repairing, or dismantling a vessel are also included.
Under general Virginia workers’ compensation regulations, employers must furnish injured workers with a panel of physicians to choose a treating doctor. Those covered under DFELHWC can select their own physician authorized by the Secretary of the Department of Labor, except when the injury renders the claimant unable to make such a choice. The employer then chooses the doctor.
