Principles of occupational risk management related to exposure to nano-objects, their agglomerates and aggregates (NOAA)
Journal Title: Podstawy i Metody Oceny Środowiska Pracy - Year 2015, Vol 31, Issue 2
Abstract
The article presents principles of occupational risk management and practical advice on their implementationThe article presents principles of occupational risk management and practical advice on their implementation in accordance with the recommendations proposed in the technical specifications ISO/TS 12901-1:2012 Nanotechnologies Occupational risk management applied to engineered nanomaterials Part 1. Principles and approaches and ISO/TS 12901-2:2014 Nanotechnologies Occupational risk management applied to engineered nanomaterials Part 2. Use of the control banding approach. Because there are no commonly accepted methods to assess the occupational risks associated with exposure to NOAA, based on the measurement data determined in the real conditions of exposure, and reference values (limits) for each NOAA in the working environment method based on determining hazard category (HB) and estimating the level of exposure (EB) presented in ISO/TS 12901-2 can be used in the process of occupational risk management related to exposure to NOAA.
