How is a Regulatory Response Selected?

The SCP framework emphasizes hazard reduction more than risk management. DTSC will give preference to a Regulatory Response that ensures the reduction or avoidance of impacts rather than simply controlling an exposure or a release of a chemical of concern. Public health and environmental protection and cost to responsible entities or government will also be considered.
