Advanced Topics in EHS: Role of Human Data in Hazard Communication (0.5-day)

PDF Brochure — next course offering Spring 2018 - April 23, 2018

Description

The Advanced Topics in EHS series of courses is designed to expand on topics that are introduced in the basic SCHC courses. The topic of human data is introduced in the SCHC course Health Hazard Determination and Risk Assessment.

The goal of this course is to provide an examination of the role of human data (experimental, observational, and anecdotal) in hazard communication. Emphasis is placed on an understanding of the technical skills and background necessary to analyze, interpret, and apply these data to hazard determinations and risk assessments. Additional topics will include the regulatory requirements for capturing, analyzing and acting upon allegations of unexpected adverse effects under TSCA 8(c), FIRFA 6(a)(2), and CPSA 15(b).

This is an advanced course. While there are no formal prerequisites for this course, it is strongly recommended that participants have a working knowledge of MSDS and labels and that they have either taken the SCHC courses, Toxicology for Hazard Communication and Health Hazard Determination and Risk Assessment, or that they are comfortable with the basic principles of toxicology, hazard determination, and risk assessment.

Intended Audience

Hazard communication professionals looking to strengthen their hazard determination and risk assessment skills.
