Dosage is everything, there are very few chemicals that only a tiny amount is fatal. Dilute chlorine bleach at levels found in tap water is fine. Much higher levels can be dosed into swimming pools without ill effects too.

At higher concentrations it’s an oxidizing agent that can destroy many molecules, including those necessary for living processes.
