Which hazard category corresponds to reproductive risks?

• A. P-List
• B. NIOSH Table 1
• C. Reproductive risks
• D. HEPA Filter ISO Class

Answer: (C)

Reproductive risks is the category that specifically flags hazards related to fertility and fetal development. When a hazard is labeled under this category, it signals that exposure to the agent could affect pregnancy outcomes or the developing fetus, so protection focuses on minimizing exposure for workers who are or may become pregnant. In practice, this drives heightened controls and accommodations—such as using closed-system transfer devices, strict containment, appropriate PPE, and careful assignment of tasks for individuals who are pregnant or planning pregnancy. The other options aren’t about labeling a hazard as reproductive risk: they refer to lists or standards used for exposure control in a broader sense or to filtration classifications, not to reproductive hazard labeling.
