The Administrative Resolution 00270-2026, issued by the Superintendence of Health and Labor Risks (Sisalril), establishes the procedure for recognizing depression, labor burnout syndrome and certain types of cancer as professional diseases. According to the document, the diagnosis must be accompanied by clinical evidence that suggests a link with risk factors present in the workplace.
To initiate the processing, the employer must present to the Dominican Institute of Prevention and Protection of Labor Risks (IDOPPRIL) the Professional Disease Notification Form (EPR-1) along with a signed medical report that details the diagnosis and possible relationship with labor conditions. The resolution notes that, in case the notification does not come directly from the employer, the corresponding instances may intervene.
Investigation and response period
IDOPPRIL has 30 calendar days to investigate the case and determine if the disease has an occupational origin, in accordance with the normative procedure. This period will allow interested parties to know the decision and, in case of recognition, access to Labor Risks Insurance coverage.
Additional verification
The process also involves the verification of the worker’s situation in the Single Information and Collection System (SUIR), managed by the Treasury of Social Security (TSS). The period in which the exposure or the origin of the pathology occurred will be reviewed to corroborate the information presented.
Implications for the worker
For the procedure to advance, the professional must ensure that their diagnosis and labor background are properly documented. Once the formal notification is presented, IDOPPRIL will initiate the investigation and issue a determination on the recognition of the disease.
