Hazardous chemicals according to OSHA:
Chemical (Toxic): A chemical that exposes a person by absorption through the skin, inhalation, or through the blood stream that causes illness, disease, or death. The amount of chemical exposure is critical in determining hazardous effects. Check Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS), and/or OSHA 1910.1000 for chemical hazard information.

A chance to go off topic is always fun. Going GREEN has a new friend in the person wanting to remove MSDS forms. There are some good GREEN soaps, and solvents which are orange based.

What you have given is the definition of 'Toxic Chemicals', though all of them are hazardous but 'non-toxic' ones could also be hazardous.

You may wish to have a look at this web resource for OSHA definitions of Hazardous Chemicals and the need for keeping MSDS.

Yes, I think people cango overboard with MSDS too!
By the way, you might like The WHMIS Warble, a youtube parody music video I recently made about the Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System (WHMIS) and MSDS. To view it, search for The WHMIS Warble on youtube. Cheers !
