| Summary: |
In spring 2006 the Federal Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (Bundesanstalt für Arbeitsschutz und Arbeitsmedizin/BAuA) and the German Chemical Industry Association (Verband der Chemischen Industrie/VCI) conducted, among VCI member companies, a joint survey on occupational health and safety in the handling and use of nanomaterials (document #406 on this database).
The purpose of the survey was to obtain an overview of occupational health and safety methods currently applied in the chemical industry in activities involving nanomaterials. A further aim was to develop, on the basis of the survey results, this "Guidance for Handling and Use of Nanomaterials at the Workplace" – with recommendations and operating instructions for the handling and use of nanomaterials in the chemical industry.
This Guidance wants to provide some orientation regarding measures in the production and use of nanomaterials at the workplace. The recommendations given here reflect the current state of science and technology. It is planned to adapt this Guidance to the advancing state of knowledge and to bring it in a more specific form, by mid-2008 at the latest.

| Summary: |
This draft report, prepared in cooperation with the German Federal Environmental Agency (UBA) and the German Federal Institute for Risk Assessment, incorporates public comment from prior drafts into a new "Research Strategy" for investigating potential toxicology for workers who handle or process nanomaterials. The Research Strategy notes that no current laws in the EU require pre-market testing in part because it is unclear what testing would be required. Among numerous recommendations the Research Strategy suggests further research and data gathering on potential exposures of nanomaterials.
This draft report was placed online and public comment was taken over a period of a year and a final draft (Document 409 on this database) was published. |
