hlight importance of having full visibility into hazards that companies man
ufacture or market - Why is it so import
ant to get hazards right for compliance and for proactive product stewardsh
ip? Abstract: In r
esponse to both regulatory and consumer pressures, companies are increasing
ly committed to characterizing and communicating chemical hazards to worker
s and the public. Robust hazard assessment is central to a number of key c
ompliance actions, including the dissemination of safety data sheets, prote
ction of confidential business information, and submission of various regul
atory obligations (e.g., chemical registrations). A comprehensive
understanding of the hazards of your products (including what is known and
what is not known) is becoming more important as the trend to disclose ing
redients grows. Arriving at well-research
ed hazard conclusions can be challenging, particularly since publicly avail
able data on chemical toxicity is rapidly expanding. This webinar will cov
er obstacles to arriving at sound hazard conclusions, methods for conductin
g a robust hazard management program, and ways of communicating consistent,
supportable hazard information internally and to the public. Maintaining
a hazard assessment program requires significant resources including well-q
ualified toxicologists and chemists. This investment, however, not only en
sures basic compliance needs are met, but sets the platform for proactive p
roduct stewardship activities. Some of the activities can include engaging
in efforts to "green" supply chains, developing internal standards that li
mit human health and environmental risks, and being more responsive to cust
omer demands for sustainable products. Agenda: PRESENTER Ari S.
Lewis has almost 15 years of consulting experience, with an empha
sis on toxicological evaluation and human health risk assessment. Her exper
tise in toxicology and risk assessment allows her to lead and contribute to
a variety of projects, including, product safety evaluations, regulatory c
omment, and green chemistry assessments. She has published and presented ex
tensively on the carcinogenic risks of metals, and provided direct input to
US EPA on risk assessment issues. She has extensive expertise in conductin
g hazard assessments according the Globally Harmonized System (GHS) for Lab
elling and Classification. With this expertise, Ms. Lewis has led several r
isk ranking and hazard evaluation projects, including the oversight of a pr
ogram involving the hazard assessment of thousands of chemicals for the pur
pose of new chemical notifications and SDS updates in multiple countries. S
he also serves a leadership role on Gradient’s Global Chemical Compli
ance and Product Stewardship Practice. Ms. Lewis also has expertise in deve
loping quantitative human health risk criteria for chemicals with limited t
oxicity data. Ms. Lewis earned her M.S. at Cornell University in Environmen
tal Toxicology.
