Risk-Reduction Strategy RRS

4 Taking a risk-benefit approach, the UK has finalised the most official reports, as well as commissioning the most chemical-specific studies on the advantages and disadvantages of market restrictions. By contrast, Germany s technical approach is reflected in not having conducted official socio-economic analyses of its RRS.

The research investigated the potential for negotiation and compromise between the actors. The project also examined the influence that regulators and stakeholder groups have on the efficacy, efficiency, effectiveness and equity of implementing a risk-reduction strategy (RRS) (Section 2.3.4). Ultimately, the tolerability of a RRS depends on such group dynamics (Sections 1.2 and 2.3.4). 

Summaries of the risk-reduction strategies (RRS) for 28 substances published in the Journal of the European Union were supplemented by risk assessment reports [13, 303-310]. 

Occupational and consumer protection are seen as technical exercises in France. The National Institute of Research and Security (INRS) and the Institute for the Industrial Environment and Safety (INERIS) may be aptly described as state apparatus to control costs to the state of poor regulation. INERIS plays little part in the development of risk-reduction strategies (RRS) because consumer protection and environmental protection follow directly from the risk assessment process. INERIS feeds relevant information directly to the MEDD. Because MESA acts only as a statistical and economic branch of occupational protection, responsibility for the development of occupational RRS is left to the INRS. 

For example, the federal institutions are involved during the development of risk reduction strategies (RRS). The Federal Institute for Risk Assessment (BfR) and the Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing (BAM) may also be involved in chemical risk management processes. 

Several years later, official EU risk-reduction strategies (RRS) for DEGBE and DEGME were produced, but discussions of possible restrictions largely focussed on applications outside industrial settings relevant to France. France therefore decided to adopt much lower occupational exposure limits than those decided at the EU level, essentially banning most industrial uses of the two substances.
