A risk assessment for hazardous substances is a structured draft document that identifies chemical exposure by inhalation or skin contact, chemical burns or irritation, and related consequences, then records controls such as safety data sheet review, substitution or minimization, and review actions. It helps teams create a source-backed PDF for planning, communication, and review before use.
