“Risk assessment” is a comprehensive analysis process to determine the potential effects of a chemical substance or mixture on human health and the environment.
This process evaluates the hazard characteristics of the substance or mixture, exposure scenarios, and the appropriateness of management measures. Risk assessment aims to identify hazards and determine the necessary measures to control the potential harms of these hazards.
In addition, the risk assessment process aims to determine the safest options by considering possible alternatives during the use of hazardous chemicals.
