What Is a Chemical Health Risk Assessment (CHRA)?

A CHRA is a written assessment of the health risks to employees arising from exposure to chemicals hazardous to health during work activities, as required under Regulation 9 of the Occupational Safety and Health (Use and Standards of Exposure of Chemicals Hazardous to Health) Regulations 2000 (USECHH).

It determines who is exposed, how they are exposed, and whether existing controls are adequate to protect health.

CHRA is a mandatory requirement enforced by the Department of Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH), Malaysia.
