Risk Assessment
- General Introduction to Risk Assessment and how it can be applied to the use of substances
- How hazard assessment of a substance is done under REACH
- Exposure Scenarios - How the life cycle of a substance is described under REACH using Exposure Scenarios and Contributing Scenarios. This section will introduce the Use Descriptor system and the tools used to calculate exposure.
- Exercise 1- Using Use Descriptors to define your use of a substance

Risk Management
- Risk Management - How risk from exposure to a substance can be calculated and a conclusion reached whether risk is acceptable or not. Which risk management measures are available to a registrant or downstream user to reduce risk?
- Discussion of the formats of Extended Safety Data Sheets and Exposure Scenarios that a recipient may receive.
- Obligations under REACH of Producers of Extended Safety Data Sheets
-

Proving compliance with Exposure Scenarios
- The obligations of recipients of an Extended Safety Data Sheet. Are all your uses covered and what to do if they are not?
- Exercise 2 - Assessing whether your use is covered by a supplied eSDS
- If uses are covered how can compliance with Exposure Scenarios be proven?
- Use of measurement, scaling and exposure modelling tools to prove compliance
- Exercise 3: Using scaling to prove compliance

Exposure Scenarios for substances be applied to mixtures?
- How can the techniques used within Exposure Scenarios for substances be applied to mixtures? This section will look at the output of the ENES project, covering both the “top-down” and “bottom-up” approaches proposed. The concepts of SUMIs, SWEDs and Lead Component will be introduced.
- Exercise 4: Identifying Lead Components in a mixture and the information that should be included in a mixture Exposure Scenario
- Conclusions and final remarks
-
Event wrap up and final Q&A
