> The second link you gave me is the kind of “body damage chart” information I am looking for but with due respect, the source, OSH Academy of Malaysia, is not nearly as authoritative as FDA. It is not my intention to spark off another forum on the standard of institutes of higher learning in Malaysia but I know it as a fact that the standard has dropped drastically since the country replaced English with its national language, Bahasa Malaysia, as the teaching medium of all institutes of higher learning in/around 1975 resulting in an exodus of many top UK or US trained intellects who refused to learn the Bahasa Malaysia.

I have no idea where you’re getting this Malaysia stuff from, but [here’s a link](http://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/2002-123/2002-123b.html) to exactly the same information on a [cdc.gov](http://cdc.gov) site, if you prefer that.

Oh, what I blunder that I made last night!

I am residing in Hong Kong and I wrote my posting last night, or rather this morning, at around 1 AM. I must be pretty tired then especially after reading through the materials in the two links that Voltaire gave me. I was trying to identify the source of the materials in the second link. I do not remember exactly how I navigated the net at that time which somehow brought out the homepage of OSHA Malaysia.

I apologize for my ignorance and the confusion caused

I think this is what I did this morning.

I went to the page indexed by the second link. After reading the materials, I wanted to know the source of the materials, OSH Academy. I clicked at the OSHA logo, the home button, and the about us button but all I got was just about the training courses. Eventually, I searched for OSH Academy on Google which is Google Hong Kong by default. The first three listings on the first page are also on the courses. The title of the fourth listing is About OSHA and it happens to be hosted by the OSHA Malaysia.
