• Description:
  NIOSH skin notations are hazard warnings used worldwide to alert workers and employers to the health risks of skin exposures to chemicals in the workplace. This Current Intelligence Bulletin (CIB) provides the rationale for assigning new NIOSH skin notations. The new system reflects the current state of scientific knowledge and involves critical evaluation of scientific data so that scientists can assign multiple skin notations that distinguish between the systemic, direct, and sensitizing effects of skin exposures to chemicals. This new strategy is a form of hazard identification that advances our understanding of the hazards posed by skin exposures to chemicals. Such improved understanding will enable us to implement better risk management practices and controls for the prevention of workplace skin diseases and other occupational diseases where skin exposure may contribute to disease development. Revised: Appendix E, section E.2, was revised to clarify the data evaluation process. This revision did not change the data evaluation process. [Description provided by NIOSH]
