A wide variety of chemicals have been used for manufacturing consumer products and humans are exposed to them in our daily life. To protect consumers from exposure to hazardous chemicals, risk management system needs to be prepared. Developed countries such as United States (U.S.) and Canada have applied their own risk management systems for regulating the chemicals. However, the risk management systems prepared by developed countries may not be readily applicable to developing or underdeveloped countries because economic, political, or social situations are diverse in each country. Generally, risk management framework includes risk assessment, risk confrontation, risk intervention, risk communication, and risk management evaluation, but it may differ in the process, contents, risk intervention of stakeholders, etc. European Commission (EC) requires a social- economy analysis for formulating an option on restrictions suggested by European Chemicals Agency and EC has early warning system for safety management system, Rapid Alert System (RAPEX). In the comparison of merits or demerits of the risk management system, the five parts of monitoring, risk assessment, risk communication, risk management and decision-making part can be considered. The monitoring part is the collection of information and evaluation in monitoring agencies. The risk assessment process includes the scientific evaluation of potential adverse health effects. The risk communication tasks are to identify stakeholders, develop stakeholder analysis, assess stakeholder acceptability, consult with stakeholders, inform stakeholders about the options, evaluate control options and monitor changing issues. The risk management process is weighting of policy options and selecting regulatory options. The decision-making step is related to the determination of governmental or voluntary actions. This paper reviews the critical points of risk management systems to effectively control hazardous chemicals for human health.
