Social Sciences - Environment & Ecology | | English term or phrase: environmental health and safety | The Code contains important guidelines on issues such as Workplace Conduct, Conflicts of Interest, Protection of Company Assets, Conduct in the Marketplace, Global Commerce, and *Environmental Health and Safety*.
"Ökologische Gesundheit und Sicherheit" klingt gesteltzt, aber einfach "Umweltschutz" erscheint zu mager. |
| | Clarification request(s) and responseFriderike Butler (asker): 4:08pm Jan 27, 2005: Since there wasn't a comma behind "Health", I assumed that "Environmental Health and Safety" was one term in the respect that both "Health" and "Safety" relate to "Environmental". Is that NOT correct?
Kim Metzger: 4:10pm Jan 27, 2005: Hi Friderike, there wouldn't be a comma after health in any case. -
Friderike Butler (asker): 4:14pm Jan 27, 2005: I thought a listing of XYZ always ends with a comma after the last item before the "and" - also since there is an "and" (with preceeding comma) before "Environmental" this should be another indication that "Environmental Health and Safety" is one expression. Or am I interpreting too much into this? ;-)
Friderike Butler (asker): 4:19pm Jan 27, 2005: Walter might have given the answer to may "comma dilemma" in that there might be a comma missing after "environmental" and there are really three issues listed that belong together...
Kim Metzger: 4:20pm Jan 27, 2005: The rule for the serial comma is "In a series of three or more terms with a single conjunction, use a comma after each term except the last." -
Friderike Butler (asker): 4:24pm Jan 27, 2005: Kim,true for German comma, but not for English according to LEO: http://leo.stcloudstate.edu/punct/comma.html
Kim Metzger: 4:25pm Jan 27, 2005: I've taught English composition in a US university, Friderike. I'm referring to English rules. -
Friderike Butler (asker): 4:32pm Jan 27, 2005: I am sure you are right, I am just trying to get my head around this darn expression... So, does the second and then make the differecne for not needing the comma after Health, in other words, since there are no mor than two listings afer the first ", and" there wouldn't be another comma required? Sorry, Kim, for bugging you and for extending the Kudoz Notes well beyond the norm...
Kim Metzger: 4:42pm Jan 27, 2005: In any case, my answer is wrong, I think. Environmental health is one term and safety is another. I'm not sure how to translate environmental health. -
Friderike Butler (asker): 2:22am Jan 28, 2005: Kim,true for German comma, but not for English according to LEO: http://leo.stcloudstate.edu/punct/comma.html
Friderike Butler (asker): 4:23pm Jan 28, 2005: Don't know how the repeat statement got in there, was not intended...

Kim hat natürlich Recht, nach \"health\" steht kein Komma. Habe es nur zur Verdeutlichung gesetzt.

Explanation:
Environmental health:
Those aspects of human health and disease that are determined by factors in the environment. It also refers to the theory and practice of assessing and controlling factors in the environment that can potentially affect health. Environmental health includes both the direct pathological effects of chemicals, radiation and some biological agents, and the effects (often indirect) on health and well-being of the broad physical, psychological, social and aesthetic environment, which includes housing, urban development, land use and transport.
