Explore the fundamentals of toxicology with respect to CLP & GHS
This 90-minute course, delivered online by expert toxicology trainer Laura Robinson, offers a unique opportunity to ground yourself in toxicological terms and concepts – an increasingly valuable knowledge asset to have in working in the global regulatory compliance scene.
This webinar will explore the principles of toxicology together with toxicological endpoints and an explanation of common terminology used. It will also look at the testing strategies commonly used.
The material will be aimed towards someone with a limited or no knowledge of toxicology.
- Risk, hazard and exposure
- The dose-response concept
- Acute and chronic toxicity
- Local effects (irritation and corrosion)
- Systemic effects (Target organ effects, carcinogenicity, mutagenicity, reproductive toxicity and developmental effects)
- Chemical allergy (Allergic contact dermatitis
and respiratory sensitisers) - Toxicokinetics
- Human health risk assessment
- Assessment of toxicological effects
The topics discussed in this introductory webinar can be applied to any global chemical control regulation.
Delegates are actively encouraged to 'raise their hand' and put questions forward throughout the training – just as you would in a live classroom environment.
