Safe use of nanomaterials
The use of nanomaterials is on the increase worldwide, including at CERN. The HSE Unit has established a safety guideline to inform you of the main requirements for the safe handling and disposal of nanomaterials at CERN.
A risk assessment tool has also been developed which guides the user through the process of evaluating the risk for his or her activity. Based on the calculated risk level, the tool provides a list of recommended control measures.
We would therefore like to draw your attention to:
- Safety Guideline C-0-0-5 - Safe handling and disposal of nanomaterials; and
- Safety Form C-0-0-2 - Nanomaterial Risk Assessment
You can consult all of CERN’s safety rules and guidelines here.
Please contact the HSE Unit for any questions you may have.
