The numerous formulated products which are introduced to the market consist of chemical ingredients that may cause various safety and health hazards to the consumers. Therefore, it is extremely important to practice a systematic methodology to formulate products with acceptable safety and health performances. This work presents an index-based methodology to assess the safety and health hazards of the ingredients during the early formulation stage of product design. Hence, new inherent safety and health sub-indexes are introduced to improve the current safety and health hazards that are needed in formulated product design. The inherent safety and health sub-indexes are assigned with scores based on the degree of potential hazards. A higher score indicates a higher safety risk or severe health effect, and vice versa. The proposed methodology will greatly assist the users to identify the adverse safety and health effects caused by the ingredients. Hence, it is pivotal to eliminate or reduce the safety and health impacts from product usage. A case study on common ingredients used in the formulation of paint is presented on this study to describe the proposed method.

投放市场的众多配方产品由化学成分组成，这些化学成分可能对消费者造成各种安全和健康危害。因此，实践一种系统化的方法来配制具有可接受的安全和健康性能的产品非常重要。这项工作提出了一种基于指标的方法，以评估产品设计早期配方阶段中成分的安全和健康危害。因此，引入了新的固有安全和健康子指数，以改善配方产品设计中所需的当前安全和健康危害。固有的安全和健康子指数根据潜在危害的程度分配分数。较高的分数表示较高的安全风险或严重的健康影响，反之亦然。所提出的方法将极大地帮助用户识别由成分引起的不良安全和健康影响。因此，消除或减少产品使用对安全和健康的影响至关重要。案例研究了一种用于涂料配方的常用成分，以描述所提出的方法。
