Occupational Regulatory Toxicology
About this course
Occupational regulatory toxicology is a dynamic field of toxicology dealing with regulation of chemicals at the workplace. The methods and tools used by regulatory toxicologists are also changing in line with new developments in exposure, hazard and risk assessment strategies.
This course is an important event, and intended, for those who are working in the field of the occupational toxicology, regulatory authorities and health and safety personnel.

- Toxicity tests, alternative methods in toxicology
- Risk assessment to risk management
- Derivation of occupational exposure limits
- Process for implementation of OELs in EU

Subject background
The field of occupational toxicology covers the use of chemicals in workplace settings and includes the study of both raw materials and process emissions as possible hazards to human health. Work-related exposures are studied by use of inhalation and skin exposure monitoring as well as biomarkers of exposure, susceptibility and effect, usually as part of epidemiological exposures. Results of such studies, and also from experimental exposure studies, contribute to the setting of workplace standards to prevent work-related intoxications and occupational disease.
