Control Banding

Many industries - especially the pharmaceutical industry - utilize substances for which there are no published occupational exposure limits (OELs). This is particularly true for drugs in early clinical development. Having an idea of how dangerous a substance might be provides risk-based guidance to the workers handling potentially hazardous materials. At Pharma Risk Management Associates, we can assess new or understudied substances to place them into a suitable occupational exposure band (OEB) category. Doing so gives clarity for required work practices and equipment for employees while providing a starting point for exposure monitoring to employers.
