CompFox AI Summary
The Workers' Compensation Appeals Board granted reconsideration of a prior order that assigned the applicant an Occupational Group Number (OGN) of 251. The applicant, a Senior Special Investigator handling child abuse cases, argued her duties warranted a higher OGN due to integral law enforcement training and the potential for dangerous situations. The Board agreed that while not a sworn police officer (OGN 490), her quasi-law enforcement duties and required training placed her more appropriately in Group 390 (Security Officer), rescinding the prior finding and returning the case for further proceedings.
