What can a failure to regularly re-evaluate hazardous materials lead to?

Failure to regularly re-evaluate hazardous materials can lead to higher risks due to outdated safety assessments. Over time, the understanding of risks associated with specific materials may change due to new research, incidents, or changes in regulations. If safety assessments are not kept up-to-date, there may be inadequacies in identifying the potential hazards, safe handling practices, and necessary safety measures required for transportation. This oversight could lead to accidents, exposure, or other hazardous situations that could have been prevented with timely reviews and updates to safety protocols and procedures. Regular evaluations are crucial to ensure that all precautions are in place to protect both workers and the environment.
