What are the Key Components of a Safety Assessment?
Several components are integral to a comprehensive safety assessment. These include:
Hazard Identification: Determining whether a substance has the potential to cause harm. Exposure Assessment: Estimating the magnitude, frequency, and duration of exposure to the substance. Dose-Response Assessment: Evaluating the relationship between the dose and the incidence of adverse effects. Risk Characterization: Integrating hazard identification, exposure, and dose-response assessments to describe the nature and magnitude of risk.
