In the federal Public Service, the terms "part-time employee" and "part-time worker" are not interchangeable. Part-time workers do not enjoy the same rights as part-time employees because they are not appointed pursuant to the Public Service Employment Act and are therefore not employees of the Public Service. 4, record 2, English, - part%2Dtime%20worker

Dans la fonction publique fédérale, les termes "employé à temps partiel" et "travailleur à temps partiel" ne sont pas interchangeables. Les travailleurs à temps partiel ne sont pas nommés aux termes de la Loi sur l’emploi dans la fonction publique. Ils ne sont donc pas considérés comme des employés de la fonction publique et ne peuvent bénéficier des droits accordés à ces derniers. 4, record 2, French, - travailleur%20%C3%A0%20temps%20partiel

Time-weighted average (TWA) exposure limit is the time-weighted average concentration of a chemical in air for a normal 8-hour work-day and 40-hour workweek to which nearly all workers may be exposed day after day without harmful effects. Time-weighted average means that the average concentration has been calculated using the duration of exposure to different concentrations of the chemical during a specific time period. In this way, higher and lower exposures are averaged over the day or week. 1, record 7, English, - time%2Dweighted%20average%20exposure%20limit

La moyenne pondérée sur le temps(MPT) est la concentration moyenne d’une substance dans l'air sur une période normale de 8 heures de travail par jour ou 40 heures par semaine, à laquelle presque tous les travailleurs peuvent être exposés jour après jour sans subir d’effets nuisibles. "Valeur pondérée sur le temps" veut dire qu'on a établi une valeur moyenne de la concentration en fonction de la durée de l'exposition à différentes concentrations sur une période déterminée. De cette façon, on obtient une moyenne des concentrations élevées et des faibles concentrations rencontrées au cours d’une semaine ou d’une journée. 2, record 7, French, - limite%20d%26rsquo%3Bexposition%20moyenne%20pond%C3%A9r%C3%A9e%20en%20fonction%20du%20temps
