What are the Key Components of a Chemical Safety Assessment?
The primary components of a chemical safety assessment include:
Hazard Identification: Determining the intrinsic properties of a chemical that could cause harm. Exposure Assessment: Estimating the magnitude, duration, and frequency of human and environmental exposure to the chemical. Risk Characterization: Integrating hazard and exposure information to describe the nature and magnitude of risk. Risk Management: Developing strategies to mitigate identified risks, such as control measures or restrictions.
