INTRODUCTION
A Chemical Risk Assessment is document guideline highlighting the nature, hazardous
content and the risk associated with its exposure of a particular chemical substance to human
beings and the environment. A chemical risk assessment test is not a final document and should
be updated and corrected with changes to the properties and the hazardous risk of a particular
chemical substance. It takes into account such properties as hazardous characterization, exposure
assessment, risk characterization, features of the chemical, necessary extra measures required. A
chemical risk assessment should be formulated before any experiment involving the chemical
substance is carried out. This paper contains information regarding to hazardous assessment of
Contact Cleaner FG, which is an aerosol used for cleaning in industries (Lees, 2012).
