Introduction

This is a Glossary of common occupational safety and healthterms, with the equivalent terms given in Mori. It has beencompiled as an aid for English-Mori translators; Morisafety and health professionals; and Mori language teach-ers, speakers and learners and anyone with an interest inthe language of safety and health.

At the time of writing, little safety and health information is

available in the Mori language. However, with the growinguse of written and spoken Mori in workplaces, the demandfor such information is certain to grow in the future. ThisGlossary is a necessary first step towards providing thatinformation.

The words and phrases in this Glossary are largely drawnfrom occupational safety and health legislation, codes ofpractice, guidelines and other publications. Many of theterms are used in a specialised legal, technical or scientificsense, as will be seen from the definitions provided. We havetried to keep the definitions relatively simple, however, andto provide specific examples wherever possible, as most usersof this Glossary will be non-specialists. In some cases, linedrawings (reproduced from various OSH publications) areused to make the meanings clearer.

In translating the terms and definitions into Mori, thegeneral practice has been to use words already in commonuse among native speakers, which hopefully will maximisethe user-friendliness of the Glossary. If a word has beencreated by Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Mori or other recog-nised authority in the recent years of language modernisa-tion, and previously published particularly in the sciencecurriculum and in the medical field then that word has

been preferred automatically. This is to prevent the real


4/694 English-Mori Glossary of Occupational Safety and Health Terms

dangers of multiple coinages for scientific terms, with confu-sion 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. Forexample, metal fume fever, mate au konganuku, is formed as acompound noun from three words: illness, fumes and metal.

The aim has been to compile a reasonably comprehen-

sive 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 temihi ki a rua i ng awhina nui i te pukapuka nei.
