confidential character of information released regarding an individual

injured employee has requested services only if such agencies have
established regulations assuring that such information will be
considered confidential and will be used only for the purpose for which
it is provided;
(b) Interested persons and agencies have been advised that any
information concerning rehabilitation program employees is to be held
confidential;
(c) A rehabilitation employee's written consent is secured for
release of information regarding disability to a person, agency, or
establishment seeking the information for purposes other than the
approved rehabilitation planning with such employee.
