How Are New Chemicals Evaluated for Safety?

Before a new chemical is introduced into the workplace, it must undergo a thorough evaluation process. Toxicologists assess the chemical's potential health impacts through hazard assessments and risk evaluations. This involves studying the chemical’s properties, potential routes of exposure, and toxicological profiles. Based on this information, regulatory agencies may establish specific guidelines or restrictions for its use.
