| Summary: |
This document (BGI/GUV-1) gives safety recommendations for handling hazardous materials and substances in laboratories. Nanomaterials are covered under these safety precautions as hazardous materials. Only the measures required to control or eliminate the hazards identified based upon assessments need to be taken, and of these, technical measures take the highest priority. Though organizational and personal measures, such as safety glasses, are of second priority, they are essential in laboratories due to the high level of manual work. Typical hazards in laboratories include fire and explosion hazards, risk of materials causing damage to health, risk of unknown or out of control reactions, and skin/eye hazards from irritant substances. This document presents the technical, organizational, and personal measures required to safely work with such hazardous substances. |
