This is an exciting time to join the Chemicals Regulation Division (CRD) with opportunities to develop and shape our regulatory schemes for the future. Our primary role is to deliver regulatory schemes intended to protect the health of people and the environment, balancing the economic and social benefits that chemicals offer to society and helping to ensure the safe and sustainable use of chemicals. We also have a role through guidance, partnership working, and leadership to raise awareness and promote behaviour change to help improve the control of hazardous substances in the workplace.
As a Senior Regulatory Scientist, you will be part of a team that is delivering HSE objectives. The UK having left the EU offers an exciting opportunity to develop and shape our regulatory schemes for the future.
Environmental fate and behaviour specialists will evaluate data from standard regulatory studies examining degradation and mobility of substances in soil, water, sediment, and air as well as environmental monitoring and literature data. This information is used to assess the environmental hazards and exposure levels and contributes to the assessment of risk of a variety of chemicals, including pesticide and biocide active substances and products. These assessments are performed for substance approval and product authorisation under the GBPPPR (Plant Protection Product Regulation) and GB BPR (Biocidal Product Regulation) and to support hazard classification under the GB CLP (Classification, Labelling and Packaging) Regulation.
