It addresses hazardous substances in the work place and identifies the manufacturer or the importer of the substances as the primary source of information (including for distinguishing substances as hazardous substances). It recognises the material safety data sheet and the work place label as important health and safety information sources with the employer assuming responsibility in applying and communicating the (manufacturers or importers) information to employees in the work place.

The important determinant of most diseases, death and health inequalities are factors such as poverty, unhealthy early childhood conditions, poor diet and being able to adapt to stressful situations in everyday life. The link between the determinant of health and actual level of health is not simple due to the fact that determinant of health are inter-related and interdependent, thus one outcome of determinant influences and generate the outcome of the other.
