The workshop will focus on the toxicological basis and interpretation of data that support a workplace exposure standard. Participants will gain an overall understanding of what data informs a recommendation for a health based workplace exposure standard.

Major topics of the workshop include:
Overview of workplace exposure standards and an update on the review project
Health risk assessment and management - occupational vs environmental health
How are WES used in a workplace risk assessment
Interpreting critical effect and translations from feeding, oral or skin data where inhalational data is lacking
Uncertainty in health risk assessment - what to do when information is limited or missing
WES parameters - what are they and what data results in recommending them?
Approach for applying a skin notation to WES
Non-threshold genotoxic carcinogens - a new approach for WHS

There will also be a panel presentation to discuss challenges and opportunities now and in the future.
