Before Armstrong, Presiding Judge, and Tookey, Judge, and Shorr, Judge.
PER CURIAM Employer Liberty Metal Fabricators, Inc. (Liberty), has filed a petition for reconsideration of our opinion in this case, 295 Or. App. 809, 435 P.3d 810 (2019), seeking clarification of the legal standard for a presumptively responsible employer to shift responsibility to a prior employer under the last injurious exposure rule. For clarification, we revise the sentence at page 812 of the opinion to read as follows:
"A presumptively responsible employer may shift responsibility to a prior employer by establishing that (1) it was impossible for conditions at its workplace to have
caused or worsened the disease, or (2) the disease was caused or worsened solely by conditions at one or more previous employments."
Reconsideration allowed; former opinion modified and adhered to as modified.
