Hi Doug, This isn't what you were asking for, but you might find it interesting. In 2015, Health Canada commissioned a survey of various international regulatory agencies on risk assessment and risk management practices. Report here <https://www.oecd.org/sti/consumer/Report%20on%20International%20Consumer%20Product%20Safety%20Risk%20Assessment%20Practices.pdf> .
