“Injury” means accidental injury or death arising out of in the course of employment and an
occupational disease, illness, or infection which arises naturally out of the employment or which
naturally or unavoidably results from an accidental injury.
“Injury” does not include mental injury caused by stress unless it is established that (A) the work
stress was extraordinary and unusual in comparison to pressures and tensions experienced by
individuals in a comparable work environment, and (B) the work stress was the predominant cause
of the mental injury. A mental injury is not considered to arise out of and in the course of
employment if it results from a disciplinary action, work evaluation, job transfer, layoff, demotion,
termination, or similar action taken in good faith by the employer.
