EU OSHA has developed several initiatives to address the potential risks associated with nanotechnology. These include:
Risk Assessment: EU OSHA provides guidelines on how to assess the risks of working with nanomaterials. This includes identifying potential hazards and evaluating the likelihood of exposure. Regulatory Framework: The agency collaborates with EU member states to develop regulatory frameworks that ensure the safe use of nanomaterials in the workplace. Research and Development: EU OSHA funds research projects aimed at understanding the health effects of nanomaterials and developing safer alternatives. Awareness and Training: The agency offers training programs and informational resources to educate employers and employees about the safe handling of nanomaterials.
