  Key Concepts: 
  Basic material assessment is a feature of SAP EHS Management that allows users to assess the safety of materials used in production processes. It enables users to identify hazardous materials and assess their potential risks. The assessment is based on the material's properties, such as its toxicity, flammability, and reactivity. The results of the assessment can then be used to inform decisions about how to safely handle and store the material. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use basic material assessment, users must first enter the material's properties into the system. This can be done manually or by importing data from an external source. Once the data is entered, the system will generate a risk assessment report that outlines the potential risks associated with the material. The report can then be used to inform decisions about how to safely handle and store the material. 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When entering data into the system, it is important to ensure that all relevant information is included. This includes not only physical properties such as toxicity and flammability, but also information about how the material will be used in production processes. This will help ensure that the risk assessment report is as accurate as possible.
