Summary
This module is an introduction to understanding the principles of hazard and risk. The lectures are designed with a “choose your own adventure” format: you can take any slides and use them in any order to build your lecture! Using these materials, students will understand the basic concepts of hazard, exposure, and risk; be able to perform a simple chemical hazard assessment; be able to compare similarities and differences between a risk assessment and an alternative assessment; and apply alternative assessment concepts to a product. There are multiple case studies in these slides.

Some of the links need to be updated:

Other minor edits:

  • Slide 51- Toxnot is now called 3E Exchange
  • Slide 67 the Toxnot logo is now https://exchange.3eco.com/
  • Slide 75 will likely no longer work due to the change from Toxnot to 3E Exchange
