Chemical Safety Assessment

A Chemical Safety Assessment (CSA) is a thorough process used to evaluate the risks associated with a chemical substance. It involves analyzing scientific data on how the chemical behaves, its potential health effects, and environmental impact. The goal is to determine safe handling, use, and disposal practices to protect people and the environment. Regulators require this assessment to ensure chemicals are used responsibly, minimizing harm. Essentially, a CSA helps identify hazards, evaluate exposure risks, and establish safety measures before the chemical is widely used or marketed.
