This classification may be used for classifying either the agency related to the injury or the agency related
to the accident:
(a) when this classification is used to classify an agency related to the injury, the items selected for coding
shall be those which directly inflicted the injury without regard to their influence in initiating the event
designated as the accident type (see section 8);
(b) when this classification is used to classify an agency related to the accident, the items selected for coding
shall be those which because of their hazardous nature or condition precipitated the event designated as
the accident type (see section 8).
