Programme

  1.  

    Day four

    Day four is one of the extension days that can be added to extend and build upon your learning on this subject.

    Alex Paul Alex Paul
    Principal: Chemical Regulatory Services, Yordas Group, UK
    Neil Hunt Neil Hunt
    Managing Regulatory Scientist, Yordas Group, UK
  2. Risk assessment

    • How risk assessment can be applied to the use of substances
    • How hazard assessment of a substance is done under REACH
    • How the life cycle of a substance is described under REACH using exposure scenarios and contributing scenarios
    • Using Use Descriptors to define your use of a substance
  3. Refreshments

  4. 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
  5. Lunch

  6. (Extended) Safety Data Sheets

    • The obligations of recipients of an Extended Safety Data Sheet. Are all your uses covered and what to do if they are not?
    • 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
    • Using scaling to prove compliance
  7. Refreshments

  8. Exposure scenarios for substances applied to mixtures

    • This section will look at the output of the ENES project, covering both the “top-down” and “bottom-up” approaches proposed. 
    • Introduction to the concepts of SUMIs, SWEDs, and Lead Component.
    • Identifying Lead Components in a mixture and the information that should be included in a mixture exposure scenario
    • Conclusions and final remarks
