9               Factors that must exist
At least one of the following factors must exist before it can be said that, on the balance of probabilities, microscopic polyangiitis or death from microscopic polyangiitis is connected with the circumstances of a person's relevant service:
(1)          inhaling respirable crystalline silica dust, at the time material containing crystalline silica was being:
(a)          produced;
(b)          excavated;
(c)          drilled, cut or ground; or
(d)          used in construction, manufacturing, cleaning or blasting;
for a cumulative period of at least 5 000 hours before the clinical onset of microscopic polyangiitis;
         (2)          having silicosis at the time of the clinical onset of microscopic polyangiitis;
         (3)          being treated with a drug from the specified list of drugs at the time of the clinical onset of microscopic polyangiitis;
Note: specified list of drugs is defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.

(c)          drilled, cut or ground; or
(d)          used in construction, manufacturing, cleaning or blasting;
for a cumulative period of at least 5 000 hours before the clinical worsening of microscopic polyangiitis;
         (5)          having silicosis at the time of the clinical worsening of microscopic polyangiitis;
         (6)          being treated with a drug from the specified list of drugs at the time of the clinical worsening of microscopic polyangiitis;
Note: specified list of drugs is defined in the Schedule 1 - Dictionary.
