Objectives: Poisonous substances experts engage in policymaking regarding poisonous substances, whereaspoisonous substances managers perform legal duties related to poisonous substances management systems atworksites. To understand and improve poisonous substances designation systems, it is necessary to distinguishthe roles of these experts and managers. We further aimed to identify problems with poisonous substancesappointment systems and provide basic data for their improvement by investigating the knowledge andrecognition of the need for system improvement among managers and experts. Methods: To determine the subjects°Ø awareness of poisonous substances designation systems, a selfadministeredquestionnaire comprised of items on general characteristics and knowledge and recognition of theneed for system improvement was issued. Data were analyzed via t-tests and ANOVA using SPSS v 16.0Results: Regarding system comprehension, managers (n=213; mean 3.28, SD 0.63) significantly differed fromexperts (n=35; mean 4.08, SD 0.59) (P<0.001). No differences were found in recognition of need forimprovement between managers (mean 3.11, SD 0.34) and experts (mean 3.24, SD 0.31). Significant differencesin comprehension were found among managers by education level (P<0.05) and company size (P<0.05). Regarding industry type, comprehension was greater in the electrical/electronic and chemical/environmentalindustries compared to in other industries (P = 0.066). Comprehension was higher among those with five yearsor more of experience compared to those with less than five years. Regarding recognition of need forimprovement, managers showed significant differences by company size (P<0.05). Experts°Ø comprehensionshowed no differences by general characteristics, while need for improvement differed according to workexperience (P<0.001). Conclusion: The study found that the bigger the company size, the higher the level of comprehension bymanagers and the experts. In the case of both groups, where a higher comprehension of the poisonous substancesdesignation system was evident, they recognized the necessity of its improvement.
