A notification about exposure requires a detailed search of records and interviews with personnel to properly identify potentially exposed groups. Next, these potentially exposed groups must be examined to determine which groups had the potential for highest exposures. The notification should address three key questions: Why am I receiving this notification? What problems are associated with exposure to the chemical? What am I supposed to do? Consideration should be given to notifying lesser‐exposed groups, as to why they are not considered to be at increased risk. © 1993 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
