The major challenge facing a critical asse.ssment of pesticide absorption is that very few data sets, either across pesticides or for dosing factors within a specific pesticide, are available for analysis. This is the major limitation to compiling large databases of comparative pesticide absorption because the previous factors confound any analysis. Building such a comprehensive dermal absorption database of pesticides would also facilitate development of more robust QSPeR models that ultimately would facilitate the risk assessment process. 

Table 2.3 shows the hazard risk matrix, which incorporates the elements of the hazard severity table and the hazard probability table to provide an effective tool for approximating acceptable and unacceptable levels or degrees of risk. By establishing an alphanumeric weighting system for risk occurrence in each severity category and level of probability, one can further classify and assess risk by degree of acceptance. Obviously, from a systems standpoint, use of such a matrix facilitates the risk assessment process. 

Knowledge of the mechanisms of dioxin action may facilitate the risk assessment process by imposing bounds on the assumptions and models used to describe possible responses to exposure to dioxin.

Assessment of process capability and statistical process control brings the ability to distinguish between a stable and un-stable process and provides a means to distinguish between different causes of variability, e.g., common cause, special cause, structural (e.g., seasonal), and tampering (e.g., deliberate or unintentional). Process understanding, quality by design and capability analysis can facilitate risk-based regulatory decisions for continuous improvements ... 

In line with its risk assessment approach to regulatory control, and to facilitate the administrative processing of applications, Medsafe categorises NMAs into three types, as follows ... 

Process characterization defines process capability and facilitates prospective process validation at the production scale [40]. Full process characterization is valuable in maintaining smooth manufacturing operations and minimizing lost batches, and it provides supporting information for lot release justification for atypical batches [15]. Its goals are to identify key operating and performance parameters, define control limits for key process parameters, demonstrate robustness of the commercial process, and provide technical information about the process [68]. The steps involved in process characterization include risk assess-... 

If risk management applies to a more complex or a less well-known process, some experience and methods may be helpful for a more formal risk assessment. They will be discussed following the sequence of risk identification, risk analysis, risk evaluation. They also facilitate proper documentation, which is essential for being transparent about decisions.
