 (a) full thickness burns:
 (i) for an employee aged 16 years or above at the time of the injury—greater than 40% of the total body surface area; or
 (ii) for an employee aged under 16 years at the time of the injury—  greater than 30% of the total body surface area; or
 (iii) to the hands, face or genital area; or
 (b) inhalation burns resulting in vital capacity or forced expiratory volume in one second which is less than 50% of that predicted for the employee's age, height and ethnicity.
