On 26 Sept 2023, the third ARCP mini webinar was focused on enhancing knowledge about risk assessment. The speaker, Ms. Katherine Heim, a Senior Human Health Toxicologist at NiPERA Inc. and a member of the ARCP Experts Workgroup on Chemical Risk Assessment, provided attendees with a comprehensive overview of various elements of risk assessment and their associated concepts. This was aimed at equipping delegates involved in regulatory risk assessment with a better understanding of the subject.
The aim of this presentation was also to prepare the delegates for a more in-depth Risk Assessment Capacity Building workshop in the upcoming ARCP Workshop in Nov where the newly developed risk assessment guidance document developed by the Chemical Risk Assessment Virtual Working Group (CRA VWG) will be shared.
The topic generated significant interest, with over 100 delegates from ASEAN member states (AMS) actively posting questions during the discussion. The ARCP Organising Committee will continue its efforts to build knowledge and competency within the AMS community, aiding them in the development of regulatory policies to achieve greater regulatory cooperation and convergence in the ASEAN region
