Two separate guidance documents for those working with manufactured nanomaterials have been released by the European Commission.The first, Working Safely with Manufactured Nanomaterials, is aimed specifically at those handling the materials in the workplace; the second, Guidance on the protection of the health and safety of workers from the potential risks related to nanomaterials at work, is for employers.
The Guidance document for employers outlines a six step risk assessment and management processes based around case-by-case assessment and the precautionary approach.The document for workers is a much briefer document.
