APPENDIX B TO SAFETY CODE NO. 12
DEFINITIONS (Mandatory)
Although safety hazards related to the physical characteristics of a chemical can
be objectively defined in terms of testing requirements (e.g. flammability), health hazard
definitions are less precise and more subjective. Health hazards may cause measurable
changes in the body-such as decreased pulmonary function. These changes are generally
indicated by the occurrence of signs and symptoms in the exposed employees-such as
shortness of breath, a non-measurable, subjective feeling. Employees exposed to such
hazards must be apprised of both the change in body function and the signs and symptoms
that may occur to signal that change.
The determination of occupational health hazards is complicated by the fact that
many of the effects or signs and symptoms occur commonly in non-occupationally exposed
populations, so that effects of exposure are difficult to separate from normally occurring
illnesses. Occasionally, a substance causes an effect that is rarely seen in the population
