Introduction
This is a Glossary of common occupational safety and health terms, with the equivalent terms given in Mori. It has been compiled as an aid for English-Mori translators; Mori safety and health professionals; and Mori language teachers, speakers and learners and anyone with an interest in the language of safety and health. At the time of writing, little safety and health information is available in the Mori language. However, with the growing use of written and spoken Mori in workplaces, the demand for such information is certain to grow in the future. This Glossary is a necessary first step towards providing that information. The words and phrases in this Glossary are largely drawn from occupational safety and health legislation, codes of practice, guidelines and other publications. Many of the terms are used in a specialised legal, technical or scientific sense, as will be seen from the definitions provided. We have tried to keep the definitions relatively simple, however, and to provide specific examples wherever possible, as most users of this Glossary will be non-specialists. In some cases, line drawings (reproduced from various OSH publications) are used to make the meanings clearer. In translating the terms and definitions into Mori, the general practice has been to use words already in common use among native speakers, which hopefully will maximise the user-friendliness of the Glossary. If a word has been created by Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Mori or other recognised authority in the recent years of language modernisation, and previously published particularly in the science curriculum and in the medical field then that word has been preferred automatically. This is to prevent the real

dangers of multiple coinages for scientific terms, with confusion for the users of published materials. In some cases, new words have been coined specifically for this Glossary and approved by Te Taura Whiri i te Reo. For example, metal fume fever, mate au konganuku, is formed as a compound noun from three words: illness, fumes and metal. The aim has been to compile a reasonably comprehensive list of occupational safety and health terms, but inevitably there will be omissions, and we welcome suggestions for terms to be included in future editions of this Glossary. Our special thanks to Lee Smith and Dr Patu Hhepa for their assistance and editorial advice with this Glossary. Ka nui te mihi ki a rua i ng awhina nui i te pukapuka nei.
