Risk Analysis Framework January 2005
The Risk Analysis Framework describes the principles of risk analysis used by the Regulator to protect human health and safety, and the environment, in accordance with the Gene Technology Act.
This Risk Analysis Framework (RAF) is a key explanatory document that provides guidance on how the Regulator, and staff under the Regulator’s direction in the Office of the Gene Technology Regulator (OGTR), approach the risk analysis of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) under the Act and the Regulations. The legislation provides the scope and boundaries for risk analysis of GMOs, but is not explicit in directing how the Regulator should undertake risk analysis.
