First Delphi results: Where is Safe by Design already in practice Sample Clauses

First Delphi results: Where is Safe by Design already in practice. In addition to the graphics provided by SciPinion (Appendix 3), additional analyses of the results were carried out with input from the Core Group. These are presented in Figure 6 to Figure 11. A “heat map” format was developed by the project team by first translating of the checkbox responses in SciPinion into an R-base file and then constructing percent of total responses per checkbox to differentiate among the use and life cycle combinations. The translation to R-base also allowed differentiation of response across stakeholder groupings. The heat maps generated for the question in Figure 5 “Where is Safe by Design already in practice for new use development for MNMs” provided a visual representation of the aggregate responses that greatly facilitated further discussion of this point in later steps of the forum. The heat map in Figure 6 (rows and columns are inverted compare to the question in Figure 5) shows that high percentages of experts felt that SbD is in practice for all use types during manufacturing stages (i.e., that addresses health risks for workers). In contrast, few experts indicated SbD is in practice when considering the end of life or environmental life cycle stage.
