This live workshop will help develop an understanding of the regulatory approach to ecotoxicological risk assessment under GB PPP.

It will focus on helping attendees develop an understanding of how to conduct first-tier risk assessments for non-target organisms and how these are assessed by HSE as the regulator responsible for authorisations and approvals under GB PPP.

The training will be delivered by HSE regulatory specialists and will help attendees improve the quality of their submissions and understand how these will be reviewed by the GB regulator.

Who should attend?

This workshop is specifically designed for registration specialists involved in the preparation and submission of PPP dossiers.

Topics covered

The workshop will be delivered over 2 half-day sessions and will include a mixture of presentations and practical workshops and will be given by members of HSE's Ecotoxicological Regulatory Science Group directly involved in the registration process.
