Nanotechnology Summary

Potential Worker Exposures

Overview Early in history Cannot be sequential in process Preliminary positive hazard data – Heterogeneity of hazards

Gaps Knowledge Legislation Guidance Application o f guidance

Proposed Overarching Principle The health of workers should not be undermined by their work with nanomaterials

Proposed Overarching Principle When workers handle nanomaterials, risk assessments must be performed and exposure limited to extent possible If the risk is unknown strict precautions should be used to protect workers

Proposed Overarching Principle Definitions – Need to develop globally harmonized definitions for engineered nanomaterials

Proposed Overarching Principle Transparency and traceability – Manufacturers and down-stream users should ensure safety data sheets (SDS) contain the most correct information on nanomaterials – Workers and employers must have access to all relevant the health and safety information regarding the nano-enabled products with which they work – Should always include physico-chemical information and composition – Should be included throughout the life-cycle of the material – Develop international databases for types and uses of nanomaterials

Proposed Overarching Principle Sustainability and life-cycle approaches – Emerging and enabling nanotechnology should apply “safe by design” principles to materials and processes to engineer out the hazardous or toxic potentials of new engineered nanomaterials as a best practice to protect workers and the environment

Proposed Overarching Principle Well-established Industrial Hygiene methodologies can be utilized efficiently for nanomaterials risk management – Continue to refine and improve methodologies as more information becomes available

Proposed Overarching Principle Develop early warning systems to monitor workers health – Expand research on potential health effects Toxicology Epidemiology – Need for harmonized parameters for medical monitoring Include appropriate record keeping

Proposed Overarching Principle In case exposure limit values are not available for specific nanomaterials a precautionary approach should be applied – Generic nano reference values should be considered as a tool for setting provisional limits

Proposed Overarching Principle Develop harmonized exposure assessment measurements and control strategies for nanomaterials and processes Process generated nanomaterials cannot be ignored when assessing nanomaterials at the workplace

Proposed Overarching Principle Workers have the right to participate in developing risk management practices involving nanomaterials in the workplace – Requires specific training in hazard identification and best practices

Recommendations Incorporate principles in laws, regulations, practices Promote sector-specific assessments of exposure potential Promote further investigation of hazard potential and comparative potency Develop joint database on control solutions Develop joint website for workers
