What hazard, exposure & risk assessment involves and who it supports
Understanding hazards, exposure, and risk is a core part of working under EU and UK chemicals regulation. This work supports manufacturers, importers, formulators and downstream users who need a clear view of how their substances behave and where exposure may occur. It also helps them understand what this means for their regulatory responsibilities.
We work with teams who need scientific information presented in a clear and practical way. This may involve assessing a new substance, reviewing an existing portfolio, or preparing for a regulatory submission. Our role is to provide clear, evidence-based interpretation that supports sound planning.
What’s included in our hazard, exposure & risk assessment service
We support the scientific and regulatory work involved in understanding substance hazards and potential exposure. This can include:
Assessment and Analysis
- Reviewing available hazard and exposure data
- Organising and assessing the quality of information
- Identifying data gaps and practical next steps
- Exploring realistic exposure routes and conditions of use
- Preparing clear, structured summaries to support decisions
Use Mapping and Ongoing Support
We also support downstream user considerations and use mapping, helping ensure exposure pathways and conditions of use are clearly understood and aligned with regulatory expectations.
Support is tailored to your needs – whether that is targeted input or broader assessment work that integrates with your internal regulatory and product processes.
The difference our assessment work makes
Clear hazard and exposure assessment underpins good regulatory and product decisions. We bring the science and data together, highlight what matters most and present it in a way that removes ambiguity.
This clarity supports consistent decision-making across teams and helps you move forward with confidence. The conclusions are transparent, well supported and aligned with regulatory expectations.
What working with us looks like
-
Step 1
Understand your portfolio
We start by understanding your portfolio and how assessment work is currently handled. This helps us identify where support will add the most value.
-
Step 2
Agree a focused plan
From there, we agree a focused plan. This may involve full assessment preparation, targeted interpretation of data, or ongoing scientific input.
-
Step 3
Deliver clear, practical support
You receive clear updates, practical explanations, and outputs that feed directly into regulatory and product planning.
Frequently asked questions
-
It involves understanding the properties of a substance, where exposure may occur, and what risks could arise for human health or the environment. This includes identifying relevant exposure routes, considering appropriate safe levels, and understanding how these factors affect regulatory requirements and product decisions.
-
Yes. We review available data and explain what it means in practical terms for your products and regulatory planning.
-
Yes. We help identify relevant exposure routes and develop scenarios that reflect realistic use patterns, including use mapping aligned with downstream user conditions.
-
We can help review what you have, identify gaps, and suggest practical next steps to support your assessment needs.
-
Yes. We support work on complex substances, including UVCBs and multi-component substances. Outputs are tailored to reflect different uses, exposure contexts, and regulatory needs.
