    Lead Trainer:

  3. Refreshments

  4. 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
  5. Refreshments

  6. 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
  7. Lunch

  8. 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
  9. Refreshments

  10. 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
  11. Event wrap up and final Q&A
