How is Toxicology Integrated into the Production Process?
Integration of toxicology into the production process involves several key stages:
Risk Assessment: A thorough risk assessment is conducted to evaluate potential hazards. This includes identifying toxic substances and assessing their potential impact on human health and the environment. Safety Data Sheets (SDS): Preparation of SDS is crucial as these documents provide detailed information on the handling, storage, and disposal of chemicals used or produced during manufacturing. Exposure Monitoring: Monitoring the levels of exposure within the production environment to ensure they remain below the threshold limit values set by regulatory bodies. Implementation of Control Measures: Based on the risk assessment, appropriate control measures such as ventilation, personal protective equipment (PPE), and engineering controls are implemented to minimize exposure.
