Health Risk. In accordance with current practice, where there is a health risk to Employees from their working environment, health shots and regular medical examinations by a physician selected by the Employer will be required at the Employer’s expense. Flu shots are excluded from this provision.
Health Risk. 7. The Borrower, through CAA, shall ensure that all civil works contractors participate in the STI and HIV prevention program to be funded under the Project in the construction campsites. In addition, CAA shall ensure that similar information on the risk of transmission of STI and HIV/AIDS is disseminated at the worksites and local communities, in coordination with National and Provincial AIDS councils and local non-government organizations working on STI and HIV. CAA shall ensure that civil works contracts have special provisions for participation in the STI and HIV prevention program, and shall strictly monitor its compliance.
Health Risk. The proposed project requires the use of heavy‐duty diesel vehicles and equipment, which emit diesel particulate matter (DPM). The California Air Resources Board (ARB) identified DPM as a toxic air contaminant (TAC) in 1998, based on evidence demonstrating cancer effects in humans.40 The exhaust 37 BAAQMD, 2009, page 17. 38 PM10 is often termed “coarse” particulate matter and is made of particulates that are 10 microns in diameter or smaller. PM2.5, termed “fine” particulate matter, is composed of particles that are 2.5 microns or less in diameter. 39 BAAQMD, 2009, page 16. 40 California Air Resources Board, 1998. Fact Sheet: The Toxic Air Contaminant Identification Process: Toxic Air Contaminant Emissions from Diesel‐fueled Engines. October 1998. Available online at xxxx://xxx. xxx.xx.xxx/ toxics/dieseltac/factsht1.pdf, accessed February 27, 2012. This document is also available for review at the Planning Department, 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 000, in Case File No. 2004.0093E. from diesel engines includes hundreds of different gaseous and particulate components, many of which are toxic. Mobile sources such as trucks and buses are among the primary sources of diesel emissions, and concentrations of DPM are higher near heavily traveled highways. Projects that require a substantial amount of heavy‐duty diesel vehicles and equipment, would result in emissions of DPM and possibly other TACs that may affect nearby sensitive receptors. Both YSAQMD and BAAQMD have developed significance thresholds for health risks. YSAQMD has adopted a cancer risk significance threshold of 10 in one million, and an acute and chronic hazard index significance threshold of 1.0 for the maximally exposed individual (MEI). However, YSAQMD’s thresholds apply only to stationary sources. YSAQMD’s guidance clearly states that these thresholds do not apply to mobile sources.41 Consequently, this analysis uses the BAAQMD’s previously adopted 2011 thresholds to determine the potential health risk impacts of the project. Similar to the BAAQMD’s air quality significance thresholds adopted in 2011, BAAQMD’s health risk thresholds are not currently recommended for use by BAAQMD. However, BAAQMD’s 2011 health risk thresholds are based on substantial evidence identified in BAAQMD’s 2009 Justification Report and described below and are therefore used in this document. Excess Cancer Risk and Hazard Index. Similar to criteria pollutant thresholds identified above, the BAAQMD Regulation 2, Rule 5 sets...
Health Risk. Zorgverzekeraar VGZ may not terminate or change the insurance on the basis of an increased health risk, insofar as this is due to the insured person.
