Risk Assessment & Toxicology
Toxicology consulting is the practice of evaluating the potential for chemical exposures to affect human and environmental health and welfare.
Overview
The SLR team are recognised national and international experts in human health and environmental toxicology and risk assessment. We identify, acquire, and utilise the most up-to-date scientific information to assess intrinsic hazards of chemicals, exposures to these chemicals, and their corresponding risk to the public workers, and the environment.
Our work is trusted, and we are sought after to provide advice on both simple and complex issues to both industry and government clients. Our experts are active in professional organisations, regularly present research at conferences, and publish in peer reviewed scientific journals. We are constantly keeping abreast of the latest developments in our field of expertise, and ensure that this knowledge is passed on to our clients in a logical and clear manner.
