Environmental health decision-makers and public health, environmental and other professionals with a role in assessing and managing human health risks associated with chemical exposures. Participants of the webinar will learn about the important role of human health risk assessment in informing environmental health decision-making including regulatory action, responses to chemical incidents and management of poisonings.

Participants will hear about experiences from developing countries to undertake human health risk assessment in low resource settings and the usefulness of the WHO human health risk assessment toolkit: chemical hazards.

Participants will be introduced to the WHO Chemical Risk Assessment Network Community of Trainers (CoT) which provides a forum to trainers and those who would like to become trainers to share experiences in the teaching and training on human health risk assessment.
