When a licensed health care professional recommends days or shifts away from work the days or shifts are counted even if the employee comes to work anyway. Days or shifts are not counted if a licensed health care professional has released the employee to return to work and the employee does not do so. Days are full calendar days or shifts. The count of days or shifts begins with the first full day or shift away from work. Days or shifts will be counted until the employee is released by a licensed health care professional to return to work, is terminated or retires. 3.2 Catastrophic Release - A major uncontrolled emission, fire, or explosion involving one or more highly hazardous chemicals that presents or could have caused serious danger to employees in the workplace. 3.3 Chemical Exposure Anytime an employee is exposed to a hazardous workplace chemical. In some cases this is through physical contact, inhalation, absorption, ingestion, or by injection. Other cases may involve chemical exposures where there was no physical contact, absorption, ingestion or injection and the proper PPE was being worn and only requires decontamination via a safety shower. 3.4 EHSS Compliance Event Any event with environmental, health, safety or security impact that triggers a governmental reporting obligation. These include events classified as Health and Safety Compliance Events, Environmental Compliance Events or reportable Environmental Spill and Release. 3.5 Event/Incident - Any event resulting in: First Aid Injury
