The workshop held on October 18, 2002, was the second of two workshops held to date for the purpose of further developing and evaluating the proposed approach. Both workshops were conducted by staff of the Exposure Assessment Section, Existing Substances Division, Bureau of Environmental Contaminants, within the Safe Environments Programme of the Healthy Environments and Consumer Safety Branch (HECS) of Health Canada. The first workshop was conducted in Ottawa on Wednesday, May 30, 2001. Twenty individuals, mainly Health Canada staff in the National Capital Region, participated in this earlier "exploratory" workshop and subsequently received the workshop report (Existing Substances Division, 2001).
