Innovation types can be differentiated as to whether the successful new innovation is of a technical or organisational nature or signifies a change of system. Direction of Innovation. Within the context of SubChem the question is also relevant as to whether the innovation (hazardous substance substitution, hazardous substance prevention, exposure prevention) has really reduced the risks entailed by the hazardous substance or has possibly only caused those risks to shift. With regard to the practicability of risk management, the question can also be raised as to whether a specific organisational and/or institutional innovation creates increased (also practicable) personal lesponsibihty of the commercial enterprises or whether and to what extent it is linked to a greater need for state control.
