To ensure safety when using BSCs in nanotechnology, several protocols must be followed:
1. Proper Training: All users must undergo training to understand the correct use and limitations of the BSC. 2. Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Appropriate PPE, such as gloves and lab coats, must be worn at all times. 3. Regular Maintenance: Routine maintenance and certification of the BSC are essential to ensure its proper functioning. 4. Spill Management: Protocols should be in place to handle any spills or accidental releases of nanomaterials.
