Injured workers have the right to be treated in an ethical manner
by those providing vocational services to them. These rights include
being fully informed of services available to them under the vocational
assistance and reemployment rules; being fully informed of the purpose
and results of testing and evaluations, except as limited by ORS
192.525, and being recommended only for suitable employment.
Authorized vocational assistance providers and certified individuals
will comply with the generally accepted standards for the vocational
rehabilitation profession. They will not violate any applicable
state or federal civil rights law; engage in, or tolerate, sexual
harassment of a worker, enter into a relationship with the worker
to promote personal gain or for the gain of a person or organization
in which they have an interest. Neither will the provider or certified
individual commit fraud, misrepresent, or make a serious error or
omission, in connection with an application for authorization or
certification; in their reports or return to work plans, or vocational
assistance activities or responsibilities as a vocational assistance
provider.
A full description of the professional standards and restrictions
for vocational assistance providers, including collusion, submitting
false or misleading information and failure to comply with an order
by the director is described under OAR
