Defining Safer: Drawing a Line in the Sand to Advance Substitution

Join us for an insightful webinar, “Defining Safer: Drawing a Line in the Sand to Advance Substitution,” which will be held at 12:00 p.m. EDT on 24 April.

As industries transition toward safer alternatives, companies often seek clearer benchmarks to define what qualifies as “safer” or “safe enough” to justify investments in new processes, chemical inputs and product lines. While alternatives assessment frameworks and guidance documents provide numerous factors for comparing hazard and exposure considerations, the need for explicit definitions of “safer” has become increasingly important. Establishing these definitions is essential for improving substitution decisions and fostering more effective implementation of safer alternatives.

Hosted by the Advancement and Application of Alternatives Assessment SETAC Interest Group, the webinar will explore ongoing initiatives to define “safer” and examine the challenges and opportunities in developing standardized definitions. Presenters and respondents will share insights into current efforts, industry needs, and pathways toward greater clarity in alternatives assessment.
