"substances that pose a high risk" seems to google well.
David Williams (asker) Dec 9, 2010:
Hazardous substances of all kinds The factory in question primarily makes products out of aluminium, steel, titanium and composites (carbon and fibreglass) although this document relates to the code of conduct for external contractors, so is not directly connected to the client's own products, but may also refer to building/installation work etc.
Bernd Runge Dec 9, 2010:
What kind of substances are we talking about? Chemical, radioactive, biohazardous, ...
John Owen Dec 9, 2010:
