of small package sizes and will subsequently be transported to retail outlets. The notified chemical will be used as a fragrance ingredient in a variety of cosmetic, toiletry and household products. It will be present at a maximum concentration of 1% in fine perfumes, and a maximum of 0.025% in other products. The fragrance preparations containing the notified chemical (up to 10%) will be reformulated into end use products in . The reformulation process typically involves blending operations that will be highly automated and enclosed and will not usually involve manual handling by workers. The final products (up to 1% notified chemical) will then be transferred to smaller containers typically using automated filling processes. The final consumer products will be distributed to retail outlets and sold to the public.

Dermal, ocular and inhalation exposure of workers to fragrance mixtures containing the notified chemical may occur during handling of the drums, weighing and charging to the blending vessel, mixing in open vessels (which may occur in some facilities), during cleaning operations, sampling or analysis tasks, and transfer to end-use containers. Exposure to the notified chemical is expected to be lowered by the mainly automated and enclosed processes used, and the ventilation likely to be in place. Personal protective equipment (gloves, eye and respiratory protection etc) used by workers will reduce exposure if mixing occurs in open vessels. Workers in hair and beauty salons may experience extensive dermal exposure during application of products containing the notified chemical at up to 0.025% by hand. Such professionals may use some personal protective equipment (such as gloves) to minimise repeated exposure, and good hygiene practices are expected to be in place. Exposure of such workers is expected to be of a similar or higher level than that experienced by consumers using products containing the notified chemical. 6.1.2. Public exposure
