Toxicological risk assessment for products

PUBLIC

  • Project managers, engineers, senior technicians, technicians in the food, pharmaceutical, cosmetic and packaging industries. 
  • Depending on how the public is made up, the training can be concentrated more scientifically on a particular aspect of the evaluation of the toxicological risk. 

AIMS

  • To understand the various aspects of the problem of toxicological safety of products. 
  • To have a technical and regulatory referential that provides an understanding of the methodological choices in the approach. 
  • To be able to understand the development and conclusions of a toxicological study report on the product.
