         Note 1: Examples of circumstances that might lead to exposure to ionising radiation include being present during or subsequent to the testing or use of nuclear weapons, undergoing diagnostic or therapeutic medical procedures involving ionising radiation, and being a member of an aircrew, leading to increased levels of exposure to cosmic radiation.
         Note 2: For the purpose of dose reconstruction, dose is calculated as an average over the mass of a specific tissue or organ. If a tissue is exposed to multiple sources of ionising radiation, the various dose estimates for each type of radiation must be combined.
                                     drug, food or environmental agent from the specified list means:
(a)          beta-lactam antibiotics;
(b)          histidine contaminated fish (scombroid syndrome);
(c)          latex;
(d)          succinylated gelatin (Gelofusine); or
(e)          other drug, food or agent where there is evidence of an associated systemic allergic reaction.
                                     dyslipidaemia means persistently abnormal blood lipid levels, diagnosed by a medical practitioner and evidenced by:
(a)          a total serum cholesterol level greater than 5.5 mmol/L; or
(b)          a serum low density lipoprotein level greater than 4.0 mmol/L; or
(c)          a serum high density lipoprotein cholesterol level less than 1.0 mmol/L; or
(d)          the regular administration of drug therapy to normalise blood lipid levels.
                                     extreme cold means zero degrees Celsius or below.
                                     extreme heat means 40 degrees Celsius or above.
                                     eyewitness means a person who experiences an incident first hand and can give direct evidence of it.  This excludes persons exposed only to public broadcasting or mass media coverage of the incident.
                                     heatwave means three or more days of unusually high maximum and minimum temperatures.
                                     hypercoagulable state as specified means any one of the following:
(a)          acquired activated protein C resistance;
(b)          acquired antithrombin III deficiency;
(c)          acquired dysfibrinogenaemia;
(d)          acquired protein C deficiency;

(g)          aplastic anaemia;
(h)          disseminated intravascular coagulation;
(i)            essential thrombocythaemia;
(j)            haemolytic uraemic syndrome;
(k)          heparin-induced thrombocytopaenia;
(l)            hyperfibrinogenaemia;
(m)        hyperproteinaemia;
(n)          hyperviscosity syndrome;
(o)          immune thrombocytopaenic purpura;
(p)          myeloma;
