• Key Concepts: 
  Risk Characterization Ratio (RCR) is a metric used in SAP EHS-ERP EHS Management in ERP to measure the risk associated with a particular hazardous material. It is calculated by dividing the amount of hazardous material present in a given area by the amount of hazardous material that would be considered safe for that area.

  The RCR is used to assess the risk associated with a particular hazardous material. It is calculated by dividing the amount of hazardous material present in a given area by the amount of hazardous material that would be considered safe for that area. The higher the RCR, the greater the risk associated with the hazardous material. 
  
  Tips & Tricks:
