Substitution of
    hazardous chemicals

Step 4: What risks are associated with the alternatives?

Once you have identified alternatives, you need to answer these questions:

• What are the advantages and disadvantages of the
  alternatives?
• What is likely to happen if the product is replaced
  with one of the alternatives?

Consider each of the alternatives you identified in step 3 in the same way as described in step 1. You must complete a risk assessment for each of the alternatives in the same way as you did for the product you wish to replace.
