What safety measures can be taken to mitigate these hazards?
To mitigate these hazards, several safety measures can be implemented:
- Engineering Controls: Use of ventilation systems, fume hoods, and closed systems to contain and minimize exposure. - Administrative Controls: Implementing standard operating procedures (SOPs), safety training, and exposure monitoring. - Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Usage of appropriate PPE such as gloves, masks, and protective clothing. - Workplace Hygiene: Maintaining clean workspaces and proper disposal of nanomaterials.
