The answer is the second one: may be used as a basis to deny workers compensation benefits to an injured employee because the workers compensation policy excludes drug and alcohol-related injuries.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Never can be used as a basis to deny workers compensation benefits to an injured employee.

    • This is incorrect because many workers' compensation policies have specific exclusions for injuries that occur while the employee is under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
  2. May be used as a basis to deny workers compensation benefits to an injured employee because the workers compensation policy excludes drug and alcohol-related injuries.

    • This is correct. Workers' compensation policies often have exclusions for injuries that are directly related to the employee's use of drugs or alcohol. If an injury occurs while the employee is under the influence, the claim can be denied based on this exclusion.
  3. Can be used to deny workers compensation benefits if the employee using the alcohol or drugs is considered a substance abuser.

    • This is incorrect because the denial is not typically based on whether the employee is a substance abuser, but rather on whether the injury occurred while the employee was under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
  4. May be used to deny workers compensation benefits to an injured worker if the worker was incapable of doing his job because of the alcohol or drugs.

    • This is partially correct but not as precise as the second option. The key factor is the policy exclusion for drug and alcohol-related injuries, not just the incapability to perform the job.

Summary: The correct answer is the second option because workers' compensation policies often exclude coverage for injuries that occur while the employee is under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
