25-28 juni: Chemical Safety Assessment under REACH

Outline

This four day training provides a full introduction in chemical safety assessment and offers you the opportunity to apply the theoretical framework directly in your own practice. Therefore the training involves a crash course on the first day in which a general overview of the REACH legislation, processes and the chemical safety assessment (CSA) is provided, with short interactive exercises. In the remaining part of the course the participants select a REACH relevant chemical to perform their own chemical safety assessment. On each day in a stepwise approach the theoretical background is provided, available tools are explained and briefly demonstrated after which you can bring it into practice with your selected chemical of interest under supervision of experts. After selecting a chemical the CSA starts with data gathering, selection and evaluation (day 2), hazard assessment (day 2 and 3), exposure assessment (day 3), and risk characterization (day 3). Within the course we briefly touch upon risk management measures (day 4) and the special topics PBT/PMT, endocrine disruption, nanomaterials and mixture toxicity. On the final day the participants are expected to pitch their most important lesson(s) learned to share their insights.
