Agricultural Handlers Exposure
Database (AHED™) Development
The AHETF, in cooperation with the European Crop Protection Association, has developed database software, accessible via a web-based server, for handling the data entry, calculations and data analysis. Thus, a common database software tool will be used for risk assessments both in North America and Europe. However, the data generated in Europe will be uploaded to the European version and the AHETF data will be uploaded to the North American (AHETF) version. In this way the software is the same, but the data will only be that which is applicable to each continent.
The Agricultural Handlers Exposure Database will only contain data that regulators have deemed appropriate for use in a generic database.
