10.4.5 Risk Management (Step 5)
The final step of product risk assessment is to identify and implement actions
or measures to reduce any risks that have been classified as not acceptable (see
Sect. 6.7).
Task: Answer the following for the three areas investigated in this case study (risk
to the environment, occupational risk, and dietary risk):
(a) Which risks identified during the assessment could be deemed as not acceptable?
(b) What measures or actions could potentially be taken specifically to reduce these
risks?
(c) What limitations or uncertainties exist in the risk assessment carried out in this
case study?
