Risk Assessment

This information sheet is an updated review of the answers to the following questions, and replaces the previously published Q&As:

● Can I use Dangerous goods classes to group risk assessments?

● How long are risk assessments current?

● What is the difference between the European Commission version of a risk assessment and the Globally Harmonised System version?

● Risk assessments for preparation and disposal: Is a risk assessment required every time I perform a task e.g., diluting concentrated HCl? Is an SOP sufficient?

This downloadable information sheet is intended to serve as an instructional guide on how to carry out and document a risk assessment using the Science ASSIST risk assessment template.

This document also gives a brief overview of risk management and conducting a risk assessment.

This downloadable file is a Risk Assessment template which has been developed by Science ASSIST.

It has been designed to assist in the identification of hazards in all areas of science and the selection of appropriate control measures.
