The second key task of the BfR is risk communication. It is defined as
a continuous and interactive process characterised by a participative
dialogue with various target groups. In this way, risk communication goes
far beyond the provision of information to all groups involved and all
interested parties with regard to the Institute's assessment work and its
results. The timely provision of information to the general public con-
cerning possible health risks, research findings and work results forms
the basis of this dialogue. In its risk communication, the BfR pursues
three principles in order to strengthen the trust of everyone involved in
the process of risk assessment: transparency, reliability and the great-
est possible openness.
