Document background
A Chemistry Risk Assessment is required under Danish law whenever chemical substances are present in a workplace environment. This document is mandated by the Danish Working Environment Act and related EU directives, particularly for workplaces handling, storing, or processing chemical substances. The assessment must be conducted prior to beginning any new chemical processes and updated regularly or when significant changes occur. It includes detailed analysis of chemical hazards, exposure routes, control measures, and emergency procedures. The document forms a crucial part of workplace safety documentation and must be readily available for inspection by Danish workplace authorities. Its completion requires input from qualified safety personnel and must follow specific assessment methodologies outlined in Danish chemical safety regulations.
